Teargas and pain for Leopards, joy for Ulinzi in Machakos

Police lobbed teargas canisters at the whistle as aggrieved AFC Leopards resorted to hooliganism after watching in agony as their beloved club succumbed to yet another humiliating defeat, losing 0-1 to Ulinzi Stars at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Sunday.

Daniel Waweru scored the all-important goal for the soldiers in the third minute that ensured Ingwe will remain domiciled in the relegation red-zone for at least another 10 days.

The play however had to be stopped briefly a few minutes later as Waweru had to be attended to after suffering a concussion.

Ingwe almost levelled scores in the 15th minute after Eugene Mukangula swung in a left-footed free-kick from the edge of the box but the Ulinzi defence was first to react much to the relief of goalkeeper James Saruni.

Dunstan Nyaudo’s men then survived a scare in the 21st minute after a number of dangerous crosses were swung across the face of the Saruni-manned goal.

Leopards upped the tempo after the break as Rwandese head coach Cassa ‘Pep’ Mbungo rallied his troops for a point, at least, since taking over the helm early this month, but it was not to be.

The defeat left the limping Leopards on position 17 out of the 18-team table on a paltry 10 points.
