AFC Leopards and Shabana FC shared the spoils after playing out a goalless draw in an entertaining encounter, with Shabana goalkeeper Pavel Ndzila emerging as the standout performer after saving a second-half penalty to preserve his side's clean sheet.

The match started at a lively pace, with both sides battling for control of the midfield before AFC Leopards gradually took the initiative and began putting pressure on Shabana's defence.

Ingwe created their first major opportunity in the fifth minute after winning a free kick just outside the penalty area. Gambian midfielder Adama Kanteh stepped up to take the kick but sent his effort inches wide of the target.
