AFC Leopards failed to capitalize on a chance to go second on the SportPesa League table with a goalless draw against Murang’a Seal FC on Sunday afternoon at the Nyayo National Stadium.
This stalemate marked the fourth time this 2025/26 campaign that a Leopards match has ended level, and only the second occasion the Fred Ambani-led side has been involved in a scoreless affair, following their earlier match against Bandari FC at Kasarani Stadium.
Ingwe made three changes to the starting lineup, introducing Kaycie Odhiambo and Samuel Ssenyonjo and welcoming back Vincent Mahiga in place of Kennedy Owino, Elias Mugane, and Emmanuel Lwangu, respectively.

This marked the first time Kayci was starting for the AFC Leopards, partnering Ivorian Rami Coulibali, who made his second start of the season.
For the Seal, talisman Joe Irungu returned to the starting 11, with Kiplangat benched for this fixture.
Leopards were the first to knock at the Muranga Seal door after Ssenyonjo combined with Hassan Beja to deliver a cross into the area, but James Kinyanjui’s shot was blocked and subsequently cleared.
In a largely uneventful first half, Seal’s best chance of the day came from Victor Haki with a low shot into the box, but the ball wasn’t enough to trouble Leopards Goalkeeper Katasi.
Ingwe made two changes at the start of the second half, with Christopher Koloti and Ronald Sichenje replacing Samuel Ssenyonjo and Beja Hassan at centre forward and left wing, respectively.
The goalless draw means Leopards have failed to score in the last two matches, having lost 2-0 to Mara Sugar FC in their last fixture at the Awendo Stadium.
For the Osborne Monday-coached Seal, it extends their unbeaten run to four matches, with their third draw in that period.
Ingwe are now third on the table, three points off top-placed Kogalo, who have three points in hand. For the Murang’a-based Seal, they are just two points off the relegation zone after nine matches in the 2025/26 season.
In the other fixture played on Sunday, Police FC overcame last weekend’s setback against Gor Mahia to defeat Tusker FC 1-2 away at the Sportpesa Arena in Murang’a.
