KPL orders Sony Sugar and AFC Leopards to replay aborted match

The abandoned Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match between Sony Sugar and AFC Leopards will be replayed, the KPL has confirmed.

The initial game was played on April 14 but was rained off with about half an hour to go. It was rescheduled for the following day but the visitors refused to play after the host team provided an ill-equipped ambulance.

KPL CEO Jack Oguda says the league match has to be played again because, under the circumstances, neither of the two teams can be punished.

“There are no laws stating the action to be taken on such a scenario and that is why we cannot award either of the teams three points,” Oguda told Goal in an interview.
