AFC Leopards coach happy with GOtv Shield progress

AFC Leopards interim coach Tom Juma has lauded his charges following an impressive 2-0 win against Nairobi Stima in GOtv Shield on Saturday.

Goals from Joshua Mawira and Aziz Okaka, who was making his debut, was all the 2013 champions needed to progress to the round of 16. "We have been shaky in the past, especially defensively where we conceded cheap goals.

"Also, we’ve been unable to score when it matters. This time round it was different. We wanted to settle early and kill the game in the first half. I am happy it worked and we managed to win.

"I am happy with the players we signed. It definitely takes time before they settle, but signs are good. Once they settle fully, we will be a formidable side," Juma told Goal.

After a good run in the Shield, Ingwe will turn their attention to Kenyan Premier League next weekend.
