Own Goal Earns AFC Leopards Premier League win over Shabana

AFC Leopards produced a late comeback to make it two wins on the bounce after dispatching Shabana 2-1 in a SportPesa League fixture at Gusii Stadium on Wednesday, 29 October. Hosts Shabana took an early lead when Austine Odongo struck from a set-piece inside the first 10 minutes for the match's openner. In the 64th minute substitutes skipper Victor Omune and Julius Masaba combined to reel Ambani's side level, from a move that bore fruits by Omune's goal. Ingwe then had the last laugh in the 88th minute when James Kinyanjui’s delivery from a corner was turned into the net by a Shabana player. The win marks Leopards’ second of the season after they beat Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) by the same score on Saturday. For Shabana, it is the third straight loss for Peter Okidi’s charges following defeats to Posta Rangers and Mathare United – all at Gusii Stadium. The comeback secured AFC Leopards their first league win over Shabana, with their only other head-to-head victory coming in the Mozzart Bet Cup in March last year. Shabana, playing their third consecutive game at home, were looking to write off their disappointing losses to Posta Rangers and Mathare United, while slightly under-pressure Leopards were out to prove their first win of the season over KCB last weekend was not a fluke.

The result extended Homeboyz' stay at the summit of the top tier league.
