AFC Leopards raid Ulinzi Stars

Ulinzi Stars’ Moh-Hassan tackles AFC Leopards’ Allan Wanga during their Kenyan Premier League match at Afraha Stadium, Saturday.

Ulinzi striker Mohammed Hassan was given his marching orders late in the second half as AFC Leopards   gunned down Ulinzi Stars 1-0 in a tough Tusker Premier League match at Afraha Stadium, Nakuru, last evening.

Hassan punched second half substitute Michael Khamati, forcing referee Nassur Doka to send him off for indecency.
As the match was headed for a barren draw in the injury time Leopards striker Allan Wanga picked a loose ball at the edge of the box and riffled home the all-important from a goalmouth melee.
Wanga said: “Although it was a difficult match, we kept on pressing till we got what we wanted.”
Ulinzi will have to blame themselves for not earning maximum points after wasting begging opportunities in both halves with the main culprit being striker Oscar Wamalwa.
Wamalwa shot a powerful drive into the waiting hands of Ingwe custodian Patrick Matasi in the 82nd minute after being put through by second half substitute Steve Waruru.
Earlier, Ulinzi striker Elvis Nandwa’s 72nd minute powerful drive was parried out for a fruitless corner by Matasi.
Sensing danger
Ten minutes later, Wamalwa followed with another volley that hit the post.
Sensing danger, Leopards coach Luc Eymael brought in Charles Okwemba, Mike Baraza and Michael Khamati for Edwin Seda, Noah Wafula and Martin Imbalambala respectively which changed the match tempo resulting in Wanga’s goal.
