I always like such mentalities and you could see it but had you asked me if I saw seven goals, I could have said no because AFC Leopards has a good defense and my defensive setup is equally good. However, seven goals show that the game was entertaining,” he added.The win lifted Shabana to 32 points, 4 points above Muhoroni Youth who lost by a solitary goal to FC Talanta and occupy the other automatic relegation spot.
