Harambee Stars: Charles Okwemba on why Engin Firat should be replaced by either Matano, Kimanzi or 'Ghost'
He said the trio can save Kenyan football from the mediocrity shown by the foreign coaches and their proven track record is admirable.
Shabana collected a staggering gross revenue of KSh 831,300 from gate collections.
On the pitch, Shabana started the match on a high note under the guidance of head coach Peter Okidi, who recently replaced Sammy 'Pamzo' Omollo.
The team, riding the momentum of two back-to-back league wins looked determined to continue their streak.
In the 33rd minute, Brian Michira delivered a stunning bullet header from a precise cross by Matthew Tegisi on the right flank sending the home crowd into rapturous celebration.
The early goal energized the team who maintained their attacking intensity.
Just four minutes later, Justin Omwandho outmaneuvered Ingwe’s left-back Vincent Mahiga to deliver a perfect ball into the box. Michira capitalized on the opportunity and slotted it past AFC Leopards goalkeeper Humphrey Katasi doubling Shabana's lead and sending their supporters into a frenzy.
However, AFC Leopards, under pressure to salvage their season, clawed their way back into the match.
A defensive miscommunication between Shabana captain George Orako and goalkeeper Stephen Ochieng in the 41st minute proved costly.
Bonface Munyendo intercepted Orako's misplaced back pass and coolly scored, narrowing the deficit for the Leopards.
