Having bagged their first win of the season, Wazito FC are now relieved and planning for more success when they face floundering AFC Leopards on Saturday in Muhoroni.The former moneybags recorded their maiden victory in the ongoing Football Kenya Federation Premier League, FKFPL in a midweek fixture on Wednesday, rallying from behind to edge Vihiga Bullets FC 2-3 at Kakamega’s Bukhungu Stadium.”It feels like a heavy load has been lifted off our shoulders,” Wazito’s interim coach Jeff Odongo told Mozzart Sport. “We feel free to go for more success now, and the boys are pumped up ahead of the Saturday game against Leopards.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6937485##Prior to the victory, the now Muhoroni-based side had gone three games without a win; registering two loses and a draw. They will be up against a wounded Leopards, who are reeling from a 4-1 thumping by Bidco United FC in their last outing, but Jeff is undeterred. “They will come at us hammer and tongs, but we’re going to make sure we are well prepared for them. Having played four games now, I can say we’re getting into our rhythm, and soon we’re going to be ready for any opponent. “Under pressure Leopards coach Patrick Aussems blamed lack of communication and defensive mistakes for the heavy defeat, but called for unity moving forward.##EDITORS_CHOICE##”Not the expected result today. Lack of communication and huge defensive mistakes gave us a lot of frustration. Let’s refresh our minds and move on. We win together, we lose together.”Cliff Nyakeya, who scored the lone goal in Ingwe’s last win against Nairobi City Stars was equally gutted, but promised a better show in future. “We can lose matches but not in such a way, that was pathetic! We feel for you fans, we know that you deserve better and we should have done better…. kindly give us a chance to turn around the results and performance.”With just two wins in seven games, Leopards, who are yet to win the league in close to three decades, are far off the leading pack and can’t afford further slip-ups if they want to turn around the season.
