On a fateful day, May 29, 2022, Kakamega Homeboys' title ambitions took a hit as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against AFC Leopards at Bukhungu stadium in Kakamega county.
The 12-time Kenya premier league champions, AFC Leopards, secured three maximum points thanks to goals from Collins Shivachi and Ojo Olaniyi in either half.
Homeboys, who boasted four wins in their last seven meetings against Leopards, were unable to overcome their poor history against the former giants.
Despite the loss, Homeboys remain second in the standings with 57 points, tied with Tusker, while Leopards moved sixth on the log with 45 points and three matches to complete the season.
Homeboys now need to win both their remaining matches against Posta Rangers and Bidco to retain their crown.
