www kccafc.co.ug spoke with the KCCA FC Manager Morley Byekwaso ahead of #KCCAURA and had this to say;
The game we are going to play tomorrow is a tough one. We face a side that we have not won against since 2019. We want to end this. We are home and we need to use that advantage over them. We have reviewed our first round and seen where we went wrong as a team and we have tried to work on that during the break. It is unfortunate that we will not have Iguma who sustained a hamstring injury in the previous game. We have able replacements that we are sure will get the job done – Morley Byekwaso
