AFC Leopards suffer shock defeat to FC Talanta in pre-season friendly

AFC Leopards lost by a solitary goal to National Super League (NSL) side Talanta FC in a pre-season friendly played on Wednesday at Gigiri.

The lone goal was struck in the first half by Brian Makara who capitalized on poor marking to put the ball into the back of the net. Despite efforts by the 13-time league champions to make a comeback, Talanta held on to the win.

However, AFC Leopards team manager Tom Juma says there is no cause for alarm as this was just a ‘trial and error’ match.
