AFC summed up their shaky run lately
this season with a 0-1 loss to Millers Chemelil Sugar at the Awendo Green
Stadium on Saturday 10 November 2012.
Chemelil Sugar was evidently the
better side starting the match on a high with Isemeki and Mwaniki on the
offense after AFC appeared to have started on a relaxed mode.
Their efforts were rewarded in the
18th minute after Jonathan Mwaniki was fed with a through ball from
the center of the park which he did not delay in heading in for the opener.
This goals sent shock waves through the
Ingwe squad as they struggled to hold onto the electric paced game that
Chemelil had now staged.
Okwemba replied the Chemelil Sugar
goal with a thunderbolt that resulted to a corner but the resultant kick by
Mike Baraza was punched back into play by the Chemelil Sugar keeper.
AFC suffered a blow early in the
match as they were forced to replace injured Kiwaalabye with Idrissa Rajab as another
Baraza corner was headed away by Chemelil’s David Ojwang’.
Paul Were could have pulled Ingwe
level in the dying minute of the first half from Mike Baraza cross but the
resultant kick missed the far post by a whisker.
Chemelil was the better side in
the second half after managing to lock out the AFC attackers despite the introduction
of Allan Wanga at the restart.
The Millers ensured that Leopards
did not get the balls while maintaining the high tempo of the game. Their
efforts were almost rewarded in the 73rd minute when Andrew Isemeki
looped the ball over the keeper only for it to roll outside.
Laurent Tumba was introduced for
Victor Ochieng’ but it was a matter of too late as Chemelil Sugar carried the
day by a solitary goal.
