AFC Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems and his Posta Rangers counterpart John Kamau differed on whether the mail men’s goal against Ingwe on Saturday should have stood.Cavin Odongo came off the bench to score the all-important goal in a 1-0 triumph for Posta; their first win of the season to ease pressure on new coach Kamau.##NAJAVA_MECA_6893005##However, a debate raged on whether the goal should have stood or not. Before racing to fire past an on-rushing Levis Opiyo, Odongo appeared to shove young defender Kayci Odhiambo on the back. Leopards protested after the goal was scored and after the game as they suffered their second defeat of the campaign four matches into the new season.The two coaches weighed in on whether the goal should have been chucked off by the match officials. Aussems feels there was a foul in the buildup and wondered why the official did not give a foul.“I was speaking with the referee and for me, it is a foul because Kayci is just trying to protect the ball and the guy touched him, the referee said it wasn’t a foul so I don’t know,” the Belgian tactician said.FKF Premier LeagueCavin Odongo scored the solitary goal that condemned AFC Leopards to their second defeat of the season as Posta Rangers bagged their first win to move one point ahead of Leopards.@BernardNdong #NTVWeekendEdition pic.twitter.com/eRkfGtVq8c— NTV Kenya (@ntvkenya) December 17, 2022 His Posta counterpart Kamau on the other hand says the referee was spot-on to let the goal stand. He faulted Odhiambo’s style of defending“There was no foul, I think the AFC Leopards player was outpaced and instead of defending the space he went for the ball and I think he miscalculated and for me, it is a genuine goal. Whichever you want to look at it, it is a genuine goal,” the former Kenya U-20 coach said.Next for AFC Leopards is a home match against Kakamega Homeboyz on Wednesday at the Nyayo National Stadium.
