Kenya, 13 December 2025 - Kenya Police FC climbed to the top of the FKF Premier League standings despite being held to a draw by AFC Leopards in a closely contested encounter that underlined the growing competitiveness of the title race.
The match, played in front of a lively crowd, lived up to its expectations as one of the league’s top fixtures.
AFC Leopards, eager to halt Police FC’s momentum after a win against arch rivals Gor Mahia, matched the league leaders stride for stride and showed resilience against a side that has been one of the most consistent since last season.
Police FC entered the clash knowing that even a point could be enough to lift them to the top of the table, and they approached the game with composure and discipline.
While clear-cut chances were limited, Police FC controlled large spells of possession and looked the more likely side to find a breakthrough, particularly in the second half. However, AFC Leopards’ organised defence stood firm, frustrating Police’s attacking efforts.
Ingwe, meanwhile, will take positives from the result. The draw showcased their defensive solidity and tactical maturity, especially against a team in strong form. They also had moments on the counter-attack that tested Police FC’s backline, but neither side managed to find the decisive goal.

The point proved crucial for Police FC, allowing them to move to the top of the table. The achievement reflects their steady progress this season, built on consistency rather than dominance, and reinforces their position as genuine title contenders.
The draw keeps AFC Leopards firmly in the hunt for a strong league finish. While they may feel they could have snatched more, avoiding defeat against the league’s pace leaders will boost confidence ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
As the FKF Premier League season continues to unfold, Police FC’s rise to the summit adds another layer of intrigue to the title race.
With several teams still closely packed near the top, every point is proving valuable, and this hard-fought draw could be remembered as an important moment in the campaign.
