AFC Leopards tactician Patrick Aussems opines that individual mistakes are to blame for their league loss on Saturday afternoon to Wazito FC at Muhoroni Stadium.Ingwe took an early lead after just 22 minutes through Victor Omune. Still, the lead lasted only 15 minutes as Clinton Okoth leveled matters with eight minutes left to the break before Collins Neto won the game for the hosts shortly after the restart for the second half from the spot after a Leopards player was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box.Mandonga lives upto hype as he records dominant technical knockout victory against WanyonyiAfter the heavy 4-1 loss to Bidco United last weekend, the Belgian had pointed out defensive lapses and communication breakdowns in his team as the reason they got battered.However, the 57-year-old tactician has called upon Ingwe faifthfuls to rally behind the team despite the current shortcomings.##NAJAVA_MECA_6937472##Too many individual mistakes in the last 2 games !!! But mistakes are part of the game , so i will keep supporting and protecting my young team again and again. I hope real Ingwe fans will do the same … pic.twitter.com/rQEmTFNjx3— Patrick Aussems (@PatrickAussems) January 15, 2023 Leopards lie on the bottom half of the standings at 11th with just eight points from as many matches, having lost half of the matches that they have played this season.Resurgent Wazito exert their weight on poor AFC LeopardsNext assignment for the 12-time Kenyan champions as they seek to bounce back to winning ways is a home match against Mathare United who are yet to record a win in the current campaign.”We took our chances, they didn’t.” That was Wazito FC interim coach Jeff Odongo’s assessment of Saturday’s big win over floundering the AFC Leopards.”It was a game of chances. Both sides had theirs, and we were lucky to take ours, as for our opponents, they didn’t, including missing a penalty in the extra time,” a buoyant Jeff told Mozzart Sport.Ingwe coach Patrick Aussems felt hard done by skewed refereeing, but Jeff thinks otherwise, “As coaches, we also find an excuse for a bad result, some genuine, some just to save face. To be honest, the game was balanced, with the only difference being who took their chances.”The massive win was Wazito’s second on the bounce and came against the backdrop of a 2-1 away win at Vihiga Bullets in a midweek fixture on Wednesday in Kakamega.Wazito, however, may not have enough time to celebrate as their next outing will be against Nzoia Sugar FC, a team that has only lost a game in nine fixtures. The Millers boast an impressive five wins and a draw.”We’re getting into our rhythm and playing as a unit. In the next three games, I’m sure we’re going to be able to face any team in the league. Nzoia has a young exciting squad just like us, and we’re going to plan well for them.”Additional reporting by Boniface Osano
