FOOTBALL Man found guilty of killing ardent AFC Leopards and Harambee Stars fan Issac Juma
The famous football supporter was hacked to death at his rural home in January 2022 over a reported land dispute.
In the first fifteen minutes, neither team seemed able to make any clinical decisions in the final third, which resulted in much of the play being congested in the midfield.
The first half only produced one shot on goal, and that happened to be the game’s opening goal in the 26th minute when Nyakwaka turned home a David Owino pass to make it 1-0.
Despite being on the back foot Mara Sugar went into the break leading, as they took their only chance in front of goal and were the happier of the two teams at halftime.
