Posta Rangers squeeze past AFC Leopards in Machakos
12-time champions AFC Leopards suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against a determined Posta Rangers in a match played at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
Posta Rangers’ took the lead in the 71st minute through Felix Oluoch who scored a beauty of a goal to break the hearts of Ingwe fans.
The goal forced AFC Leopards manager Thomas Trucha to make three substitutions in a bid to find an equalizer.
He brought off Bonface Munyendo, Arthur Gitego and Kayci Odhiambo and replaced them with Brian Wanyama, Sydney Lokale and Mousa Oundo.
However, although Gitego got a goal scoring chance in the closing stages of the match, he fired his shot wide.
The defeat was Ingwe’s first of the season and made them drop to position five, a point behind leaders KCB.
Jackline Juma makes history with FC Talanta
On Saturday, FC Talanta tactician Jackline Juma had a debut to remember, as she helped her side pick up the maximum points against a stubborn Sofapaka side.
Alex Juma’s well-struck injury time penalty was enough to sink Sofapaka in the hotly contested clash that was played at the Machakos-based Kenyatta Stadium.
The win ensured Juma became the only woman in the history of the topflight league to secure a victory.
In addition, it worsens Sofapaka’s situation, sending them to the bottom of the log standings having lost their opening two matches.
