Ingwe doubled their tally in the 38th minute through Hassan Beja who got on the end of a Maxwell Otieno low-drilled cross across goal right after he had been felled by Brian Buleti but got back up.
There was a temporary moment of confusion when Kakamega Homeboyz thought they had pulled one back from a set-piece right after the break, but the referee blew for a foul after Opiyo was fouled.
After moments where Leopards tried to hit Homeboyz on the break, the Kakamega outfit nearly pulled back when Hillary Otieno attempted a shot outside the box which Opiyo parried away for a corner kick.
