The FKF Premier League continued on Saturday with the clash between Shabana FC and AFC Leopards at the Raila Odinga Stadium being the pick of the bunch.
Shabana, who are fighting relegation, boosted their survival hopes by registering a 4-3 win over Leopards in a match that saw them lose a lead twice. Samuel Maiko gave Shabana an 18th-minute lead and while they were cruising, Leopards hit back with two quickfire goals in a span of three minutes; Arthu Gitego restoring parity before Victor Omune gave them the lead.
