AFC Leopards bounced back to winning ways after narrowly edging out Posta Rangers 1-0 in a midweek FKF Premier League match played on Thursday at Nyayo Stadium.

Leopards headed into the match following their shocking 1-0 defeat to Mathare United last weekend and Cliff Nyakeya gave Patrick Aussems the perfect reply when he gave Ingwe the lead in the opening five minutes of the match.

The win moved Leopards into the top four as Aussems picked his 10th win of the 2022-2023 season.

Leopards are now joint fourth in the 18-team standings with 35 points, same as Kenya Police who were held to a 2-2 draw by Nzoia Sugar at Sudi Stadium in Bungoma.

John Mwangi and James Kibande struck for the hosts, who are winless in their last five matches, before Derrick Otanga and Elvis Rupia salvaged a point for the law enforcers.

At Kasarani Annex, Bandari edged out Mathare United 1-0 in a closely contested match.
