They have good players, good organization and a good coach, and for that, we have to give them respect,” said Ambani.##NAJAVA_MECA_8754801##While Leopards are in the title race and should be happy with nothing short of three points in order to land the title, Ambani picked positives from the result.“I am not entirely happy, but again Police is a big team, and when you get a draw in such a match, it is not a bad result. We wanted all the three points in order to catch up with the leading pack, but we also thank God for what we got,” said Ambani.First Benni McCarthy call up?Just like their opponents, the 1998 Premier League champions were also guilty of wasting chances in the game, and perhaps the closest they were to scoring a goal was when Musa Oundo hit the woodwork from outside the box.With the two teams seemingly at par during the game, Ambani explained why he still injected more power upfront in his second-half substitutions.##NAJAVA_MECA_8754795##“We had analyzed them and realized that the way to hurt them would be to introduce speedy and creative wingers. We were lacking on that front due to fatigue, and I am happy with their impact. We almost found a winner,” he explained.Leopards will be back in action on Saturday, 8 March, when they take on Mara Sugar in a Mozzart Bet Cup Round of 32 tie at the Jomo Kenyatta Stadium, Kisumu.
