Trucha has heaped praise on Murang’a Seal for making it difficult for his injury-ridden AFC Leopards despite beating them narrowly during their FKFPL encounter.
AFC Leopards head coach Tomas Trucha has admitted that his side were lucky against Murang’a Seal as they beat them 1-0 in an FKFPL match played at the Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
A Victor Omune goal in the 29th minute was enough to give Ingwe all the three points to extend their winning streak to six from seven matches and leapfrog them into eighth place on the table with 30 points.
However, it was not an easy match considering it was marred by a lot of refereeing controversies, and opportunities were scarcely created by either side, but nonetheless, it was one of those games you would consider “winning ugly”
