The first goal came in the 13th minute, and it was a beautifully worked move that set the tone for the rest of the game. Tyson won the ball in the midfield and sent it to James Kinyanjui on the right wing, who delivered a perfect cross into the box. Ssenyonjo was waiting, and he made no mistake, beating the goalkeeper to make it 1-0 for AFC Leopards. The Kenyan side were in control from the outset, and Ssenyonjo’s goal was the perfect start.

Ssenyonjo’s second goal came in the 23rd minute, and it was a goal that showcased his pace and agility, and he was assisted by James Kinyanjui. The Ingwe were 2-0 up, and it was looking ominous for Tusker FC.

The third goal came in the 50th minute, and it was a wonderful team move. Ssenyonjo played a beautiful back heel to Ronald Sichenje, who scored his first goal in the encounter, making it 3-0 for AFC Leopards. The Kenyan side were in cruise control, and Ssenyonjo’s performance was being watched with awe by the fans.

The Ugandan striker completed his hat-trick in the 72nd minute, converting a penalty with ease to make it 4-0. It was a fitting reward for Ssenyonjo, who had been in top form throughout the game. He was withdrawn in the 79th minute, replaced by Hassan Beja, to a hero’s sendoff from the AFC Leopards fans.

Ssenyonjo’s performance was a welcome resurgence for the Ugandan striker, who had joined AFC Leopards this season struggling with form. His hat-trick was a reminder of his quality, and AFC Leopards were hoping he’s back to his best and firing on all cylinders for the rest of the season.
