AFC Leopards hold KCB to a barren draw in Thika

KCB assistant coach Godfrey Oduor was unimpressed with his side wasting a number of chances in the game but noted improvements after started the season with a loss against Gor Mahia.”We have improved because we started with a loss and we are headed towards the right direction and in the next set of fixtures I know that we are going improve on our performances,””Kamura adds something into the team, him and Mazembe add experience and we hope that they will help us win the coming games. We wasted so many chances and that gave us something to think about heading into the next coming games,” said Oduor.AFC Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems was slightly less confident of winning the title with the club still serving the transfer ban but was impressed with his haul of four points from two games.”I promised not to talk about referees but I was a bit surprised by the decision on the last corner, I’m satisfied with the performance of the boys and it showed that we implement what we had worked for during the week,””I said we are going to win the league three weeks ago because I thought the transfer ban would be lifted but now I hope that the situation will change in the coming days. The boys are young and want to learn a lot, we worked tactically during the week and they asked a lot of questions, four points from two games is a really good game,” said Aussems.FULL TIME KCB FC 0 AFC Leopards 0#KCBvsAFC#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/paunGblNYt— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 16, 2021 AFC Leopards again started without a recognized out and out forward as Saad Musa was missing from the line up after arriving late from the international break with South Sudan where he excelled, scoring his maiden goal for Africa’s newest nation.A familiar face for Ingwe lined up for KCB in the name of their former captain Robinson Kamura who partnered with Nashon Alembi at the heart of defense.Both teams had a real go at each other in the opening exchanges as AFC Leopards’ penalty shout was waved away in the ninth minute when Peter Thiong’o struck a devilish corner was handled by one of the KCB defender among the sea of bodies.FULL TIMEKCB FC 0 AFC Leopards 0#OursForever #INGWE— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) October 16, 2021 KCB resorted to utilizing the left channel to instigate their attacks and came close at the stroke of the half hour mark when David Owino who was restored at left back after featuring predominantly as winger last season whipped in a cross that was headed in by James Mazembe but a last ditch save by Maxwell Mulili saved Ingwe’s blushes.Mazembe who was a constant menace to the AFC Leopards backline delivered a pin point cross to Derrick Otanga who was surprised the cross got all the way after Isaac Kipyegon failed to clear his lines but recovered after the ball hit Otanga to hook the ball to safety.AFC Leopards could have gone into the half time break leading when Dan Sunguti got the better of David Owino to feed Brian Wanyama but the latter’s feeble effort was picked by Gabriel Andika in goal as both teams went into the half time break locked in a barren draw.Zedekiah Zico Otieno’s charges resumed the second half on the front foot but profligacy continued to plague them as Mutinda played in a clever dink over the Ingwe backline that found Brian Ndenga but he had little space to muster anything on target as his chip sailed over the bar.The game’s intensity fizzled off under the sweltering heat but KCB continued to threaten from the flanks as David Owino’s cross found Otanga in 72nd minute but the former Sony Sugar forward could not guide his header on target.Ingwe withered the late storm by KCB to pick up a point in a hotly contested encounter in Thika.
