Looking visibly elated after they pipped Nairobi City Stars 1-0 at Utalii Grounds on Sunday, Pinto said he had observed marked improvement and believes they have the potential to pull off a surprise. On the other hand, City Stars coach Sanjin Alajic said his players squandered a perfect opportunity to stun the 18-time Kenyan champions. However, City Stars custodian Steve Njuge heaved a sigh of relief after Clifton Miheso's resultant goal-bound effort veered off target. City Stars got a chance to restore parity in the 40th minute when Harun Shakava committed an infringement against Elvis Maloba. City Stars were reduced to ten men when Ombija got his marching orders in the 76th minute.
