AFC Leopards edged out Mara Sugar 2-1 to cut leaders Gor Mahia’s lead to six points in a tight SportPesa Premier League match played at Nyayo Stadium yesterday.
The result leaves Ingwe second but with 58 points, six behind Gor Mahia, who will be playing defending champions Kenya Police today at the same venue.
Hassan Beja gave Ingwe the lead in the 13th minute before Drona Openda restored parity for the visitors at the half-hour mark, with the scores tied 1-1 at the break.
In the final half, Victor Omune scored the winner in the 61st minute to help Leopards secure maximum points.
Ingwe will be praying Gor drops points against Police for them to be able to close in, especially with four matches left until the end of the 2025-2026 season.
