Leopards scored three goals in the opening 25 minutes.Midfielder Keegan Ndemi gave a penalty away when he fouled Jaffari Owiti in the box for the first goal, before scoring an unfortunate own goal after heading the ball in the wrong direction as he attempted to clear the ball away.
For their third goal, poor positioning by right back Omar Somobwana when Leopards hit Bandari on the counter attack sent the side packing back to Mombasa.

Ingwe wasted no time as they drilled in three goals within 25 minutes.
“We made a lot of mistakes, especially in the first half. We gave them too much space to destroy us and we got punished for it, which made our position a bit difficult from a mental perspective, ” Kimani said.
“In the second half, we were much better and created some opportunities to score, but unfortunately, we were not able to. If we had taken some of those chances, maybe we would have had a chance to get back into the game.”
