Three-Time Man Of The Match: Paul ‘Mendy’ Ngugi central defender does it Again!

Three-Time Man Of The Match: Paul ‘Mendy’ Ngugi central defender does it Again!

Murang’a SEAL’s defensive marshal Paul Ngugi delivered another towering performance coming from injury as he scooped his third SportPesa League Man of the Match award of the season. The defensive rock registered 8 clearances, 3 blocks, 3 interceptions, a perfect 100% pass accuracy, and 2 tackles won in a disciplined display that shut out AFC Leopards and underlined his rising star status.

Paul Ngugi once again stood tall for Murang’a SEAL, delivering a rock-solid performance in the 0-0 draw against AFC Leopards at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday: made even more impressive by the fact that he was returning from injury. The dependable centre-back was the heartbeat of MSEAL’s resilience, marshalling the backline with authority and calmness under pressure.


Ngugi, popularly known as Mendy, put in a massive shift, finishing the match with 8 clearances, 3 blocks and 3 interceptions, neutralising Leopards’ attacking threats time and again. With Ingwe pushing hard, especially in the dying moments, the defender remained unshaken. 


In possession, he was spotless. Mendy recorded a 100% pass accuracy, a rare stat in a high-tempo Sportpesa League fixture, especially inside a charged Nyayo Stadium. He complemented that with 2 tackles won, underscoring his all-round contribution on a day MSEAL had to dig deep. 


His calm presence, sharp reading of danger and intelligent positioning were central to MSEAL’s disciplined display, one that earned the Murang’a side a valuable point against one of Kenya’s most decorated clubs. 


Murang’a SEAL will look to carry this defensive solidity into the next fixtures, and with Ngugi in this kind of form, they have every reason to believe.
