Published on September 1, 2019, AFC Leopards' 2019/2020 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season began with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Kakamega Homeboyz at the Bukhungu Stadium.
The 13-time KPL champions handed debuts to new signings Collins Shivachi, Robert Mudenyu, Vincent Habamahoro, Tresor Ndikumana, and Ismailia Diarra, in a bid to avoid a fifth consecutive loss to Nicholas Muyoti's Homeboyz.
However, with five minutes to go in the game, former Nzoia Sugar player Stephen Etyang, making his debut for Homeboyz, scored the match-winning goal for the hosts.
Elsewhere, Zoo Kericho kicked off the new season in style, thrashing a visiting Chemelil Sugar side 3-1 at the Kericho Green Stadium.
