Okumu at Rescue as Ingwe Shares Spoils

AFC Leopards snatched an injury time equaliser to share spoils with Mathare United in a tightly fought mid week match at Nyayo Stadium. The floodlight encounter saw both mid table teams squander several chances that will have changed the outcome before the end of first half. The slum boys' 18th minute goal was netted by their bully striker Jacob Omondi who took advantage of a disunited backline to tap in an early ice breaker. But it was Ingwe's lack of the fighting spirit in the first one hour that enraged the clubs loyal fans who had thronged Nyayo Stadium terracess, prompting them(fans) to prompt the technical bench to make substitution. And as the youthful Joseph Okumu stepped in to replace Congolese import Desmonde Selenga, speed was instantly injected into the team. Okumu's relentless efforts were rewarded in the stoppage time through a header after the rejuvenated Ingwe had terrorised the slum boys for the better part of the second half. The draw still places AFC at number 11 in the standing to share 9 points with Mathare United and perrenial archrivals Gor Mahia, both who have a superio goal difference.
