AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Hansel Ochieng\u2019 came off the bench to score a last gasp goal as 10-man AFC Leopards beat Nairobi City Stars 1-0 at Kasarani Annex on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The result saw AFC Leopards, who have two games in hand, leapfrog KCB into the second spot and close the gap on league leaders Tusker (35) to seven points.<\/p>\n

Leopards had to finish the game with one man less after their captain Robinson Kamura was sent off for a reckless tackle on City Stars midfielder Oliver Maloba four minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n

In Kericho, Zoo finally registered their first win of the season after seeing off Vihiga United 1-0 in a relegation zone battle tie while Western Stima silenced visiting Wazito by an identical scoreline in Kisumu.<\/p>\n

Alex Onchwari\u2019s strike at the stroke of halftime is all that the bottom-rooted Zoo needed to secure the precious win ahead of the two week international break.<\/p>\n

In Mombasa, Nzoia Sugar frustrated Bandari to a 1-1 draw in a game that saw both teams finish with 10 men after Brian Otieno (Bandari) and Ian Karani (Nzoia) were red-carded.<\/p>\n

But it is AFC\u00a0 coach Patrick Aussems who was one of the happiest men yesterday following his side\u2019s hard-fought victory against their bogey team City Stars that put them in a pole position to challenge for the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to congratulate my players for the job well. We didn\u2019t panic after Kamura\u2019s red card, instead we defended as a unit and never gave up until the final minute,\u201d Aussems told The Standard Sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
