According to an email sent to news rooms from the FKL Secretary General Sammy Obingo, the match referee reported that the match was abandoned in the 87th after Mahakama had scored what seemed to be a third goal of the game. The goal was disallowed for offside by the referee. The crowd then ran on to the pitch insisting that the referee counts the goal. Due to the match invasion by fans, Compel FC was awarded the match on a three points and 2 goals basis.

Due to the deliberation, AFC Leopards now finishes tops with 60 points in 30 games beating Eldoret Mahakama to second spot by just a point.
