Leopards drew 1-1 with Chemelil.
MichezoAfrika reports:-
Hosts Chemelil Sugar came from a goal down to hold visitors AFC Leopards to a one all draw in a packed but tense match that witnessed some moments of stone throwing from the Chemelil fans.
Both goals were scored from the penalty spot in each half with AFC scoring first in the 25th minute through Jonas Naimana. Abbas Kiwalabye who missed Chemelil’s match in Naivasha on Monday against Gor Mahia scored Chemelil’s equalizer also from the penalty spot to draw parity as both sides shared the points.
The match was however characterized by some moments of insanity when AFC Leopards fan Isaac Juma received hostile reception as he was stoned when at half time when he entered the field for his normal lap of honor around the pitch.
