And it is the away goal that coach Kaziba has urged his players to build on and complete the job when they face off again.
“We will build from our away goal advantage,” Kaziba told the club’s official website. “It was good we went to Arua and won the first leg and now we need to finish off the game at home.”
The veteran tactician has further confirmed they did not suffer any injuries during the match in Arua, insisting the team is ready to complete the task.
“We did not suffer any fresh injuries from the first leg,” Kaziba continued.
“Firstly, I thank the coaches for the trust which enabled me to make my debut,” Kusiima told the club’s social media pages. “It was a dream debut to me because I kept a clean sheet and most importantly the team won.
“I am glad that I have contributed to more clean sheets [12 now across all competitions] and I look forward to doing better when given the opportunity again.”
The Red Eagles took the lead in the game courtesy of Kambale, who stepped up and controlled Martin Kizza’s pass before he calmly slotted home with a powerful left-footed strike.
The coaches always want to put their best players on the pitch. Therefore you will find so many of them playing a lot continually which takes a huge toll on the body. They play a lot and do very intense training. This is because most of the players and their coaches are under pressure [to deliver]. The results are so many injuries.
Buteme also pointed out how poor training methods by some teams as well as poor diet and conditioning is further harming the players. The poor diet of most Ugandans, the poor conditioning where the body takes more load than it is supposed to, is another challenge, she continued.
“But as former champions, we know that we want; we want to win but it is going very tough. We are going to try and see that we get positive results.”
The coach also gave injury updates from his side and explained how they are going to help the returning players reach their high level of fitness.
“Some are coming back and some are still missing,” he added. “We have got Juma Balinya and Mazengo Loro back but their fitness level is not better but we shall see how we will feature them in the game.
“We will give them fewer minutes so that they can stabilise and build on their fitness. We are going to miss Dennis Iguma so much because he has played so well in the last four games.
