AFC Leopards beat Kakamega Homeboyz 2-1 in the Ingo Derby to cut Gor Mahia’s lead at the summit of the SportPesa League table to a single at Mumias Sports Complex on Saturday, May 16th, 2026.
First-half goals from Emmanuel Lwangu and Samuel Semo were enough to secure a win for AFC Leopards despite a late strike from Boniface Nyabuto that proved to be only a consolation for Homeboyz to resuscitate their hopes of ending their 28-year wait for a league title..
The result spices up the title race that is now threatening to go down to the wire, with Gor Mahia set to face Murang’a Seal on Sunday, 16 May, in a clash that could define the season.
Fred Ambani’s side, came into the contest trailing league leaders Gor Mahia by four points and had not beaten the Kakamega-based side since December 2023.
For Homeboyz, the defeat extended a difficult spell, with the side now winless in six consecutive matches as their hopes of securing a top-three finish continue to fade.
