From the onset, KCCA FC were the hungrier side and had a bunch of chances tucked away by Mtibwa’s custodian Shaaban Shaaban.

On 10 minutes, Gift Ali got to the end of Kizza Mustafa’s sweet delivery down the left flank but custodian Shaaban coolly collected.

From then on wards it was the ALLAN affair. Allan Kyambadde and Allan Okello combined well to find the opener but were denied on several occasions. On 25 minutes, the pair quickly exchanged but Kyambadde’s shot was parried away by the shot stopper.

The flying Kizza delivered a pinpoint cross from the left flank but Kaddu’s header went inches wide.
