Leopards held by Muhoroni.
AFC Leopards’ lackluster season continued after they were held to a goalless draw by Muhoroni in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) at Nyayo National Stadium on Wednesday.
Ingwe dominated proceedings but stubborn rearguard performance by the visitors coupled by wastefulness of their strikers saw them fail to collect three points at home.
The pre match and post match was marred by incidents after Leopards’ scouts roughed up Muhoroni players before the match preventing then from entering the dressing room. After the final whistle, unhappy Ingwe fans pelted teh pitch with stones before engaging police in running battles inside and outside the stadium.
On the pitch, Leopards went close on several occasions especially in the first half with Noah Wafula hitting the upright before he had a goal disallowed for offside.
Jacob Keli also fluffed two clear opportunities most notably when he failed to hit the target when through on goal.
James Situma thought he had scored the opener in the second half but he was penalised for fouling the keeper in the process.
After the final whistle, man of the match Ezekiel Otuoma was delighted with the point. “We had a small scuffle with AFC Leopards officials and fans as they threw salt at us so we had to run back to our bus for safety. All in all we had a good game against a strong team and in the end we got one point and we are thankful.
“Our target as players is to finish in the top half. We want to play well in the remaining matches to make sure we reach our goals”, he said.
