AFC Leopards missed the chance to climb the FKF Premier League table on Sunday, 25 October, when they were held to a 0-0 draw by Shabana FC at Nyayo National Stadium. Goalkeeper Pavel Ndzila was the difference, saving a second-half penalty that could have given Ingwe all three points.
Leopards arrived in confident mood after beating Kenya Police in midweek and were hoping to follow it with a second win of the campaign. Playing in front of their home fans, they started brightly, but the match stayed goalless at the break.
The decisive moment came in the 58th minute. Leopards were awarded a penalty after Samuel Semo was brought down inside the area, and captain Kayci Odhiambo stepped up to take it. Ndzila read the kick correctly and kept it out, preserving the clean sheet for the visitors.
The save lifted Shabana, who pushed forward with fresh belief in search of a late winner. Neither side could find a breakthrough, and the match ended goalless, with the points shared.
What’s next for Ingwe and Tore Bobe
The result leaves both clubs on 5 points from 3 games in the FKF Premier League. That is 4 points behind leaders Gor Mahia.
For Leopards, the draw will sting. They had the momentum from the Kenya Police win and home advantage, and a victory would have moved them closer to the front of the pack.
Instead, the missed penalty means they remain in the chasing group, and the gap to Gor Mahia is a reminder of how early points dropped at home can weigh on a title challenge.
For Shabana, the point on the road is a valuable one. Ndzila’s penalty save was the highlight of a resilient defensive display, and it keeps Tore Bobe level on points with AFC Leopards.
Both sides will now turn their attention to the next round of fixtures, with Leopards needing to bounce back quickly if they are to keep pace with the league leaders.
