Leopards drop their prey in day of draws

AFC Leopards and Shabana FC played out a goalless draw after Kayci Odhiambo missed a penalty, while newly promoted 3K FC claimed their first top-flight win.

AFC Leopards dropped two valuable points after being held to a goalless draw by Shabana FC in a day of draws in the SportPesa Premier League yesterday.

Ingwe failed to make home advantage count at Nyayo National Stadium, where captain Kayci Odhiambo missed a penalty in the second half to leave both sides sharing the spoils.

The result left Leopards and Shabana on five points each after three matches, four points behind leaders Gor Mahia, who have opened up a gap at the top following another victory.

Both teams had entered the contest hoping to secure their second win of the campaign. Leopards wanted to build on their victory over Kenya Police, while Shabana were looking to recover from their defeat to Nairobi United.

However, neither side could find the breakthrough in a closely fought encounter, with Leopards coming closest to scoring when they were awarded a penalty in the 58th minute.
