This doesn’t come as a shock considering the fact they lost all their attackers after the conclusion of the 2020/21 season. Elvis Rupia, Shaka Bienvenue and Hansel Ochieng all left the club. The team is yet to sign any player owing to the transfer embargo that was slapped on the club by FIFA.”We created a lot of chances and I believe had we taken them, we would have picked a win not even a draw. We had the best clear-cut chances but somehow we lacked that composure and killer instinct in front of goal and in the end we lost. It definitely hurts to lose a game but there are positives as well because we are creating chances and now it is a matter of working on our finishing and we will be good to go,” he told Mozzart Sport.FIRST HALF ACTION Bandari FC 2 AFC Leopards 1#OursForever pic.twitter.com/mWypeadNlV— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) October 24, 2021 On how they performed overall, the left-back cum central defender said that they did better compared to their performance in the derby.”It was a good game; I think it was a good response after the defeat to Gor Mahia. We were very committed as a team and we fought well for the entire 90 minutes. I can say that we played well than we did against Gor Mahia and I think there are a lot of positives to pick from the match,” he added.Next for Ingwe is a match against Ulinzi Stars.
