AFC Leopards head coach Tomas Trucha expressed his dissatisfaction with the early goal his team conceded on Sunday against Sofapaka at Nyayo Stadium, stating that they erred by letting in one of the fastest goals in the history of the Kenyan Premier League.A loss of possession saw Sofapaka transition with lightning speed, and youngster Rodgers Kipkemoi bundled home the opener with a low shot that beat AFC Leopards keeper Levis Opiyo. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8010903##The goal was scored just 26 seconds into the game, which Ingwe entered as favourites.Leopards laboured to rescue a point from the game, courtesy of a Victor Omune 59th-minute leveller. Despite having more chances to win, especially after Rodgers Kipkemoi was dismissed in the 73rd minute, Arthur Gitego and Clifton Miheso squandered opportunities, and in the end, the spoils were shared, with Sofapaka leaving as the happier side while Ingwe left, ruing the missed chance to move up the standings.Coach Trucha expressed his disappointment with his team letting in a goal seconds into the game, stating that they set the wrong record in the league.“I told you we wanted to break a record, which we did, but it was the wrong one. We conceded very early, 26 seconds,” Trucha said in his post-match interview.EXCLUSIVE: Posta Rangers send coach Kamau on compulsory leaveHe believes that letting in the early goal shifted the momentum of the game but was relieved that his halftime talk resulted in the team getting a leveler.“It was a silly goal, and it changed the momentum. We had to come back, and we spoke about changing things, and we scored a goal,” he added.Trucha also highlighted the numerous missed opportunities by his team.“We had many chances, and we did not score. Finishing was the biggest problem; we created lots of chances, but finishing was an issue,” he added.Next for Ingwe is an away game against the troubled Posta Rangers.
