AFC Leopards ended their winless run in the Sportpesa Premier League after earning a 2–1 victory over KCB at the Ulinzi Complex on Saturday. The result relieves pressure on head coach Fred Ambani, who had been under scrutiny following three straight draws.
Leopards made a dream start, taking the lead in just the 2nd minute when Boniface Munyendo slotted home from close range after a clever setup by Samuel Ssenyonjo. The early goal gave Ingwe confidence, but clear-cut chances were limited as they went into halftime leading 1–0.
KCB fought back after the break, equalising in the 55th minute, but Leopards refused to let another lead slip. Their determination paid off when Christopher Koloti connected superbly with Ronald Sichenje’s delivery to restore the lead in the 72nd minute.
Ambani’s men held firm in the closing stages, defending with composure to secure all three points. The victory lifted Leopards to seventh place on six points — four behind leaders Posta Rangers — as they prepare to face Shabana FC next Wednesday.
The win marks a turning point for Ambani, whose side had drawn 1–1 with Sofapaka, 2–2 with Posta Rangers, and 0–0 with Bandari in their previous fixtures.
In another game, Kakamega Homeboyz registered a comfortable 3–1 win over Ulinzi Stars in their Sportpesa Premier League clash on Saturday, showcasing attacking prowess and clinical finishing.
Homeboyz took control of the match in the first half, breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute to lead 1–0 at the break. They doubled their advantage shortly after halftime in the 46th minute, extending their dominance.
Ulinzi Stars briefly pulled one back in the 77th minute, but the home side responded swiftly, restoring their two-goal cushion just minutes later to seal a 3–1 victory.
The win highlights Homeboyz’s growing confidence and attacking balance, keeping them firmly in contention near the top of the FKF Premier League table.
Elsewhere, APS Bomet pulled off a stunning late comeback to defeat Kariobangi Sharks 2–1 in a dramatic Sportpesa Premier League encounter on Saturday.

With just eight minutes remaining, Cantona D. equalised in the 82nd minute before scoring again two minutes later in the 84th minute to complete a sensational turnaround.
The result handed Sharks their first home loss of the season while giving APS Bomet a huge morale boost as they continue their push up the league standings.
