The highly talented forward was pivotal in Ingwe's stroll over Bandari.

AFC Leopards’ fleetfooted winger Jaffary Owiti is determined to help his side go all the way in the Mozzart Bet Cup in order to help his side qualify for next season’s CAF Confederations Cup.

Owiti was named man-of-the-match as Ingwe brushed aside Bandari FC 3-0 in the opening 25 minutes to set a date with Ingogo rivals, Kakamega Homeboyz in the semi-finals next month.

He won the penalty for their first goal before finishing in sublime fashion, having ran at pace past former teammate Omar Somobwana in a counter attacking situation to put them two goals to the good.

“ We have played very well today, “he said “ Our target is to win this cup in order to qualify for next season’s CAF Confederations Cup given the league is well and truly beyond reach this season,” he added.

“That qualification is injecting a burning desire in me to qualify for it. That is all I could think of as I played today.”

“ This has been my best performance of the tournament so far. I hope I can help the team continue pushing forward.”

The forward signed for Leopards from  the now-defunct Chemelil Sugar in 2018. Prior to the season, he had been out of action for slightly more than a year as he recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

AFC Leopards will face Ulinzi stars this Wednesday in their league encounter at the Nyayo National Stadium.
