The only real chance for AFC Leopards came in the 19th minute when Jaffari Owiti initiated a move when he glided with the ball from the left half-space having tucked inside, before passing the ball to Eugene Mukangula who then spread the ball wide to Cliff Nyakeya, but the Kenyan international’s attempted cross towards skipper Victor Omune was deflected away for a corner.

Leopards, who have created a reputation for being a side that plays out from the back, struggled to give penetrative passes from defense, with Tedian Esilaba’s passes in particular, being wayward.
This allowed Ulinzi to constantly turn over the ball and try to create goal-scoring chances.
