The match was partly watched by new AFC Leopards coach Stewart Hall who arrived at the venue after the break. AFC Leopards stand-in coach Ezekiel Akwana gambled by starting youthful goalkeeper Edwin Mukolwe who handed Sofapaka two gift in first half. Leopards took the lead in the seventh minute when Alfred Wekesa sent home Simon Abuko’s lay-up for the opener with the Sofapaka backline caught napping. Poor defending from the Leopard’s backline was to blame but no one could take away the brilliance of Abich’s delivery.
