The new signing from FC Talanta came off the bench to score twice for Ingwe, giving coach Tom Juma something to ponder about when league action resumes next week.
AFC Leopards new signing Brian Yakhama netted a brace as Ingwe brushed aside Administration Police 3-0 in a friendly match played at Kawangware’s Hope Centre on Saturday morning.
The former FC Talanta striker came off the bench to bag both of his goals, while Jaffari Owiti netted the remaining goal to put the game set and match for the Tom Juma-coached outfit, which will give him something to smile about when they resume their league season against Shabana next week.
Leopards put out two different line-ups in both halves of the match, as Juma opted to give all his players some minutes in an efforts to boost their fitness levels, having insisted it was an area his team needed to work on during the international break.
