On Saturday, the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) preseason tournament came to a close with AFC Leopards suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of newly promoted Wazito at Gems Cambridge International School on August 24, 2019.
Wazito's Michael Oduor scored the winning goal in the second half, following a nice interchange with Ugandan Matthew Odongo.
Despite the loss, Wazito's Sporting Director Solomon Alubala expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, stating that they had achieved their goal of testing themselves against top teams.
"We have achieved what we wanted to do with the tournament, which is test ourselves against top teams. We are satisfied as a team that we are headed in the right direction and I am optimistic of our chances in the upcoming season. We are coming to compete this time," Alubala told Nation Sport.
Wazito will begin their league campaign against Nzoia Sugar next Saturday at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
