AFC Leopards overcame Bandari FC 3-0 in the quarter-finals of the FKF Cup staged at the MISC Kasarani on Sunday.
A first-half brilliance from the Patrick Aussems side was all that the Leopard needed to book her slot in the next round of the competition.
It was a bad in-office for Bandari FC midfielder Keegan Ndemi who was withdrawn later in the half after two disastrous mistakes that cost his team in the day. Leopards’ first goal came via a penalty from Victor Omune; the decision arrived after NBdemi had fouled the marauding Jaffari Odeny in their box.

Nademi was to score an own goal for Leopards second after heading in a floated Eugene Mukangula corner with Odeny slotting past Michael Wanyika following a swift counterattack by the home side; the three goals proving to be the difference in the tie.
The win means that Leopards will renew their rivalry with Kakamega Homeboyz in the semis after the latter brushed aside Kariobangi Sharks 6-1 in an earlier quarterfinal staged at the same ground.
Leopards and Homeboyz met a fortnight ago in a game that was to be abandoned midway through the first half due to crowd trouble at the Bukhungu Stadium.
