As K’Ogalo remained out of action with players on national team duties with Harambee Stars, AFC cut the lead at the top to only four points following a solitary goal win over Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
The victory over the Sharks marked the third consecutive time the team ground out a 1-0 win. The team also edged Nairobi United and KCB on a similar score in its previous matches.
Ambani calls for caution
Ahead of the uphill task against the sixth-placed Murang’a Seal, Fred Ambani warned of tougher assignments in line with the Leopards’ roster, expressing optimism that his team will maintain their title push by staying on the winning track.
“It was a tough game against a team that played really well. I really think it is an important win looking at the games ahead of us, and I hope we carry it from there,” he stated.
On their part, the home team faces a huge task of upending the informed Ingwe, who have been in fine form at their traditional turf this season.
Fred Ambani’s charges are unbeaten in the last three matches at the venue, having last dropped points there against Mathare United.
