Inevitably, he was named the man of the match, before making it to the team of the week, as well as earned a nomination for the player of the week.

It was a repeat performance from Etemesi as he had a similar show the previous weekend where he came through for the team with a goal, then earned a penalty that was eventually buried home by Rowland Makati for City Stars to come from behind to see off Nzoia Sugar 2-1 in Ruaraka.
At the end of that game, Makati – after scoring his maiden top-flight goal that turned out to be the winner – was named the MVP. Ultimately, he made it to the team of the week at the end of match day four.
Solid performance from our Fullback ???????????? pic.twitter.com/c8qLZ4sCl4

“It is very encouraging to see our young players making a statement and making a difference in the team,” said team coordinator Samson Otieno
“It’s no mean fete to be ranked amongst the best in the league after a match day. Only returns that earn a team points can get you there. Kudos to Makati and Etemesi.” he added
