The AFC Leopards head coach expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, despite the challenges encountered.

AFC Leopards head coach Fred Ambani was satisfied with the outcome of his team's performance, despite the result and unconducive weather state.

Ingwe, winners of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League on 12 past occasions, salvaged a point against Bandari on Sunday as fiercest rivals Gor Mahia saw their title defense go up in smoke.

Leopards were looking for their second consecutive victory following the midweek 3-1 hammering of Mathare United but found the going tough at the Mbaraki Stadium.

The former Ingwe player told Citizen Digital that his charges could not play their usual game owing to the heavy rains that pounded the Coastal side.

“We couldn’t play our usual game because of the heavy rain. We had to change our tactical approach, but I’m happy with how the players adapted. It’s actually a positive for us since we’re used to training in such conditions in Nairobi,” said Ambani.

Following the barren draw, Ingwe have a date with Gor Mahia in the famed Mashemeji Derby, settle scores with high-flying Talanta and confidence-short KCB and will hope to end their season on a high.

AFC Leopards have garnered 46 points from 31 matches to maintain sixth position on the log.

The team is unbeaten in their last five matches although inconsistency has been a major issue.
