Machapo’s hat-trick claws Sofapaka as marauding Leopards maintain 100% start in the BETKING FKF premier league.
Playing at home this after noon, Leopards managed to clinch their third victory in Betking FKF premier league against Sofapaka a side that did not give leoaprds much opposition. Leoaprds came into this clash at the backdrop of 2 consecutive wins against Tusker and Bodico. In the previous weeks, there was a scare in the den as the head coach resigned sighting unsubstantiated claims that there were threats on the life of his agent.
He went on to resign causing fears that the team might be unstable but looking at the way Leopards is playing and final results, one will be forgiven to imagine the resignation of the head coach had much impact on the players. The team has so far proved that it is in the top flight league to compete and not to participate.
The match looked like it was headed for a goalless draw after 45 minutes but a breather and pep talk from the coach, leopards came back with a plan and it didn’t take them long before Rupia scored their first goal. Minutes later it was Elvis Rupia who tapped in as easy goal leaving Sofapaka reeling from confusion and disorganization at the back.
Elvis Rupia was not done yet as he finished a perfect cross from Thiongo sealing the victory for leopards and closing hopes of a comeback for Sofapaka. So far so good, Elvis rupia is now the leading goal scorer from three matches both for the club and the entire competition.
