After a goalless first half draw, Elvis Rupia netted two goals for AFC Leopards which was sufficient to earn “ingwe” a victory. The match which was played on Sunday afternoon behind closed doors, experienced a dull first half until Rupia gave leopards their first goal.
Leopards who earned three points from the victory, are now second on the FKF Premier League standings behind leaders KCB FC who have same points as Leopards but with superior goal difference.
Leopards, who were playing their first match post Tomas Trucha who resigned last week, survived a difficult first half in which Bidco bravely threw men forward but were undone by poor finishing.
Leopards were saved by the post minutes before half time and the newly promoted side would come to rue those missed chances when Rupia struck twice after the restart.
Stand-in coach Anthony Kimani made changes in the second half after a barren first half bring in Boniface Mukhekhe and Bienvenue Shaka with Caleb Olilo and Austin Odhiambo going the retreating to the bench.
Kimani will be more than happy to lead his side to maximum points for the second time in the same venue after hammering Tusker FC 2-1 under the Czech Republican Trucha who is believed to have join Penang FA of Malaysia.
Leopards next face the 2009 champions Sofapaka at home while Bidco travel to face Kariobangi Sharks.
Defending Champions Gor Mahia are yet to play a league match as they have been on international scheduled for the past two weekends.
