AFC Leopards produced a masterclass second half performance to thump FC Talanta 3-0 in a FKF Premier League match at Dandora Stadium on Sunday.
Emmanuel Lwangu gave Ingwe the lead three minutes to the hour mark before Arthur Gitego made it 2-0 in the 65th minute.
Kevin Kimani sealed the win in the 77th minute as Ingwe picked their 11th win of the season.
On the other hand, Talanta who are two points off the relegation zone, made their season final stretch more complicated as they now have to avoid defeat in their remaining matches.
At Police Sacco Grounds, golden boot hopeful Tito Okello kept pace with Benson Omalla after scoring twice to help Kenya Police not only breach their gap between them and Gor Mahia to nine points but also edge out Nairobi City Stars 2-1 win.

Meanwhile, Tusker came from behind to edge out Murang'a SEAL 2-1.
Bonface Kweyu gave SEAL the lead in the 19th minute before David Odoyo leveled the score three minutes later.

Action continues on Wednesday as the league enters the final stretch with eyes on who will be relegated and who will win the Premier League title.
