Latest News: Bidco United Lose to Police After Last-Minute Goal

On what looked like a promising comeback, Bidco United staged a spirited rally against league champions Kenya Police — only to crash at the final hurdle. After trailing 2–0 at halftime, Bidco roared back to level the score thanks to a second-half revival that had fans daring to hope for a dramatic turnaround.

But as the final seconds ticked away, a stoppage-time strike from substitute Exaule Misuri dashed Bidco’s hopes and handed Police a 3–2 win.

Latest News: Coach Akhulia Says “We Lost Concentration When It Mattered Most”

Speaking after the match, coach Antony Akhulia didn’t mince words. He pointed to a “lack of concentration in the added minutes” as the culprit behind the collapse.

He praised the tactical changes he made at halftime — switching to a back three with overlapping fullbacks — a move that paid dividends as Bidco clawed back into the game.

As Akhulia put it:
“We changed formation … we equalised — scoring 2 goals against Police is not easy — but losing in the last minute of the match … the lack of concentration in defending cost us.”

Coming back from 2–0 down to level matters a lot. Against a team like Police, such comebacks are rare, and for a moment it seemed like Bidco might pull off an upset. The late winner cruelly underlines how fragile football’s margins can be — even when the tactical plan works and the players fight back.

Latest News: Defensive Fragility Remains a Concern

The match exposed vulnerabilities in Bidco’s defensive concentration under pressure. Even after a tactical overhaul that delivered results, the inability to hold on when it mattered suggests deeper issues — perhaps mental toughness, game management, or lapses in focus during crucial moments.

Dropping two points like this can sting hard. More importantly, it ties into bigger questions about consistency. If Bidco hopes to challenge for higher honors (or at least stable mid-table security), they’ll need to learn — and quickly — from such painful lessons.

A respectable second-half display shows there is potential. Coach Akhulia’s willingness to adapt tactically is a strength. But football is unforgiving — and composure, especially in crunch time, is non-negotiable.

If Bidco can combine tactical flexibility with mental discipline, they still have a chance to turn things around. Their next matches will test whether this defeat becomes a lesson or simply another missed opportunity.

For the players and fans, disappointment is real. But sometimes, painful losses serve as wake-up calls — and perhaps this one will spark the focus and resilience that Bidco need to thrive in the rest of the season.
