AFC Leopards tactician Patrick Aussems has termed the game against Posta Rangers on Thursday afternoon at Nyayo Stadium the worst he has seen his side play since he joined the team.Ingwe ended their five-match losing streak after edging out the Mailmen in a midweek fixture courtesy of a Washington Munene spectacular freekick in the first half of the match.Leopards won in their opening match against Tusker FC, then drew with KCB and went on to lose their next five fixtures against Gor Mahia, Bandari, Ulinzi Stars, Sofapaka, and Bidco United.Our worst collective performance of the season bring us 3 points … but players didn’t give up and fought until the last minute …It’s another way to win so … congrats guys ! pic.twitter.com/Fp7zSnO5pD— Patrick Aussems (@PatrickAussems) December 9, 2021 Despite bagging all three points, the Belgian coach feels that his side did not play the best football that they have been displaying even on their worst days, attributing the showing to scoring early and protecting the lead by all means.”It was one of our worst games since I came to AFC but we won. Although we lost in the last five games, we had control of the game. We played very well in those games but in this game, we did not play very well. I think it is because we scored early and players had the fear of winning. In the second half, we were only thinking of defending to protect the goal and I don’t want my team to play like that,” Aussems said.⚽️| Ingwe finally put an end to their five match losing streak following victory over Posta RangersMatch Report📩#AFCLeopards #Ingwe #PostaRangers #FKFPLhttps://t.co/9DP46kQJTG— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) December 9, 2021 The 56-year old tactician has been on record previously lamenting the poor state of the playing grounds but this time was disappointed by his players for not playing ‘pira biriani’ on the good surface of Nyayo, as he termed it.”To be honest with you, I was disappointed by the performance on a good pitch like that but happy for the guys because they did not give up and the most important thing is the three points. I hope in the next game we will be able to perform well and take the three points,” Aussems said.Ingwe are set to play Vihiga Queens next over the weekend and they will be hoping to follow up the win with a consecutive triumph away to the newbies who have been struggling in the season as well.
