Samuel Ssenyonjo leads the rout of Kariobangi Sharks

Hassan Beja beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 33. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

A day Samuel Ssenyonjo will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Age has not caught George Odhiambo yet — 8.58
At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.58 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about AFC Leopards and Kariobangi Sharks in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

AFC Leopards rebuffed over Kutlwano Letlhaku
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Mamelodi Sundowns have kept their man, and AFC Leopards go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Kaycie Odhiambo falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
