Peter Thiongo’s lone goal late in the second half was all AFC Leopards needed to return to winning ways after recording a 1-0 win over Ulinzi Stars at Kasarani on Wednesday afternoon.
Leopards came into the game on a back of a loss against Bandari and to keep pace with the rest of the teams chasing the top spot, they had no option but to conjure a positive result.

After a scoreless first half that saw a closely contested match, Thiongo’ was to come with the good in the 78th minute to hand coach Patrick Aussems his first league win.
In the other games of the day, KCB dwindling fortunes continued after they were forced to come back twice in the game to hold Sofapaka to a 2-2 draw.
Lawrence Juma had given the hosts the lead on the half hour mark but the bankers response was immediate after Victor Omondi restored matter six minutes later.
