AFC Leopards faced KCB in a friendly match to fine-tune their strategies, seeking improvement after mixed results in previous encounters.

AFC Leopards faced a challenging test in their third FIFA break friendly match as they clashed with KCB FC at the KCB Karen grounds on Saturday morning.

Ingwe took an early lead, but ultimately succumbed to KCB's prowess, with a final score of 2-1.

Brian Yakhama's 28th minute strike had Ingwe fans filled with hope, but KCB responded with determination, thanks to goals from Derrick Otanga and Musa Masika.

This friendly clash was part of Leopards' preparation during the FIFA break, and it offered valuable insights into the team's performance.

Coach Tomas Trucha seized the opportunity to experiment with different formations and strategies, making several changes throughout the match to assess the squad's versatility.

In their previous friendly encounters, AFC Leopards displayed a mix of impressive results.

In a match held last Wednesday, they triumphed convincingly over Kariobangi Sharks, securing a resounding 4-1 victory.

On the following day, Ingwe demonstrated their attacking prowess once more, stunning Cigna FC with a staggering 12-0 win.

Throughout the season, Ingwe had been grappling with finding their scoring touch, often settling for draws and narrow victories.

The friendly against KCB served as a litmus test for their attacking capabilities and highlighted areas that may need further improvement as they continue their campaign.

Looking ahead in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League, AFC Leopards are set to face bottom-placed Sofapaka in their next league fixture.

This encounter presents an opportunity for Ingwe to redeem themselves and climb the league standings, utilizing the lessons learned from their friendly clashes to secure a crucial victory.
