New AFC Leopards striker Elvis Rupia was responsible for a hard-fought 1-0 win against Ulinzi Stars in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) tie at Afraha Stadium.
Rupia scored the only goal of the encounter on a soggy Afraha pitch as the match was about to end to help AFC Leopards move up to sixth position.
AFC Leopards failed to make their chances in the first 20 minutes count as goalkeeper James Saruni stood firm to thwart any danger that was directed on his area.
Enosh Ochieng would have scored his eighth goal of the season were it not for Benjamin Ochan's heroic save in the 28th minute.
