Austin Odhiambo tried a long-range shot in the 15th minute but his effort went wide with Posta Rangers remaining impervious at the back.
The home side almost opened the scoring in the 21st minute but Francis Nambute’s six-yard shot was superbly stopped by AFC Leopards’ Benjamin Ochan.
When Isaac Kipyegon was red-carded in the 49th minute, AFC Leopards made two changes to reinforce the backline as Hanel Ochiueng and Robinson Kamura replaced Bienvenue Shaka and Caleb Olilo.
Three corners – that came as a result of late pressure on Posta Rangers – were unable to earn AFC Leopards the much-needed goal.
I am happy to have received the opportunity to work with Biashara, Odhiambo said during his unveiling. It is a challenge that I have accepted and I am ready to help the team achieve the set objectives. I thank the management for trusting me with the job; it shows they know what I am capable of achieving.
Odhiambo has coached Sony Sugar before joining Gor Mahia as the assistant coach under Steven Polack.
He then left at the beginning of the season for Homeboyz in the same capacity.
Biashara chairman Selemani Mataso exuded confidence the Caf B license holder will help the team finish in the top four positions.
Allan Wanga to Hang up Boots at the End of the Season
Former Harambee Stars striker Allan Wanga has announced his retirement from active football at the end of the 2020-21 season.
The Kakamega Homeboyz striker cited his age and other private engagements in the decision to hang up his boots.
“Age is catching up with me and I can no longer battle with young energetic players featuring in top-flight football. Besides, I have achieved what any footballer could desire in his sporting career,” Wanga told the press on Tuesday.
He noted that his decision took his colleagues and coaching staff by surprise as they expected him to play for another season.
