It was same old AFC Leopards story after their poor start to the 2023-2024 season continued despite having changed guard on Sunday when they lost 1-0 to Bandari in an FKF Premier League match played at Mbaraki Sports Complex.

With Czech tactician Thomas Trucha back at the den to help salvage the sinking boat, Bandari made sure they will not be the launching pad after condemning Ingwe to a 1-0 defeat.

Derrick Nsibambi scored in the 57th minute, a goal that handed Bandari their third win of the season.

At Sudi Stadium, Kakamega Homeboyz edged out hosts Nzoia Sugar 1-0 while Nairobi City Stars rallied from behind to force a 2-2 draw against Shabana at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay County.

Newbies Muranga SEAL remained third on 13 points after forcing a 0-0 draw against Bidco United.
