As football enthusiasts focused on the match between Manchester Unite and Liverpool on Sunday, the students of Kirimara Boys High School in Mathira were unlucky after the school allegedly denied them a chance to watch the match.

According to area senior Chief Ephraim Wathua, the learners were angered by the fact that the hall where they used to watch football had been tuned into a dormitory to create space for students during the pandemic.

He added that the students wanted a mid-term break claiming the weeks they will stay in school for third term are too many.

Consequently, the school was closed on Monday when the learners returned to school after spending the night out.

The much hyped match ended well for Liverpool fans after the team ripped off Manchester United 5-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah led with a hat-trick which extended his score record to 10 straight games in all competitions. Klopp equally received praises for the whole of his attack.

Subsequently, the humiliation Manchester United faced during the match has sparked uproar as the team seeks to have a come back amidst talks of changing the management.
