I am extremely happy for him now that he is back and in fine shape, He has been one of our top players in the last three seasons but unfortunately he has struggled so much with injuries. Let us pray he keeps fit and injury-free because whenever he shines, he will always put the team on top.
On Wednesday, in the game played at the Omondi Stadium in Lugogo, Bright Anukani, Poloto, Sadat Anaku, and Samuel Ssenypnjo scored for the Garbage Collectors while Clinton Kamugisha s brace is all that Nyamityobora managed from the domestic tie.
Anukani gave Kasasiro Boys a third-minute lead from outside the box with a delightfully taken strike. Assistant captain Poloto doubled the lead in the ninth minute with another clinical shot.
The national U20 side s tactician also explained why missed chances affected them big during the showdown. I think they thought our opponents were weak then it later proved to be a strong team so we missed a lot of chances. Had we scored all those chances you wouldn’t have seen us struggling, he added. But I think we shall insist on teaching the players on how to overcome such situations and also overcome big games.
The coach hopes they will be able to correct the mistakes witnessed in the first leg, when facing Nyamityobora on Saturday. But all in all the second leg will judge who will go through and we hope to rectify our mistakes when we head into the return leg in Mbarara, the tactician, who was appointed to succeed his former boss Mike Mutebi, affirmed.
Nyamityobora scored in the 23rd minute via Kamugisha to have the deficit before Anukani was denied what could have been his brace by goalkeeper Tom Musinguzi three minutes later.
Four minutes after the half-hour mark, Anaku scored to stretch KCCA s lead. A combination between Herbert Achai, Poloto, and Charles Lwanga almost resulted in a fourth goal for the Premier League side but the latter s header hit the woodwork.
As the second half began, Kamugisha struck again for the Fufa Big League side before KCCA coach Morley Byekwaso made a change in the 65th minute replacing Anaku with Joseph Bukenya.
Steven Sserwada, Keziron Kizito and Ssenyonjo came on for Anukani, Ashraf Mugume and Lwanga for the
