Muhoroni Youth Skin Big Cat AFC Leopards to spoil 50 Yrs Celebrations

By Fredrick Nadulli,

Muhoroni Youth has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.Languishing in the lower reaches of the Kenyan top tier and
demoting their Head coach in a bid to limit the damage.Coach Francis Baraza replaced Patrick Odhiambo as the man to stem the tide.

Many were quick to dismiss the change as inconsequential.Unknown to them,the former Western Stima tactician had an ace up his sleeve.And what better way to prove your critics wrong by skinning a big cat AFC Leopards 1-0 In a midweek clash re-arranged to enable the Nairobi side catch up in the league following their tight continental schedule,the Nyanza based
side were not ready to show remorse for the visitors,who exited the CAF Confed Cup at the hands of Supersport Utd.

Nigerian import Abbas Akinyemi’s 19th minute freekick gave Muhoroni their first win this season and Francis Baraza could not have wished for a better reception.AFC Leopards meanwhile were left licking their wounds,made the worse by the fact that they were celebrating their Jubilee(50) years of existence.

The result means the two sides swap places on the log,giants AFC dropping to 14th albeit with a game in hand.No doubt
James Nandwa has his work cut out,and the next couple of days will see him under intense spotlight,following speculation of the club considering their future without him.For Baraza its a fresh lease of life in the murky waters of the TPL while Nandwa will have to employ every trick out of the book,if only to keep his club job.
