KCCA FC have improved their chances of winning a treble after stopping a determined Police FC side 1-0 in the last quarter final of the Uganda Cup played at the Mandela National Stadium, Namboole on Sunday.
After the allotted 90 minutes of play, the game went into extra 30 minutes and Derrick Nsibambi goal after 100 minutes made the difference to give coach Mike Mutebi's side the lead.
The hosts dominated play for most of the afternoon, but the KCCA FC team without first choice goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan, Timothy Awany, Brian Majwega and Muzamir Mutyaba defended well to keep Police FC at bay.
After conceding the goal Police FC pushed more players in attack and were lucky to get a penalty. KCCA FC defender Dennis Rukundo fouled veteran Anthony Bongole after 114 minutes in the box and referee Rajab Bakasambe awarded a penalty kick. Rahmat Senfuka had his effort off the penalty parried away by goalkeeper Douglas Kisembo.
“I am disappointed with this loss because we had all the chances to win the game and my players wasted the chances,” said Police FC coach Abudallah Mubiru after the game.
A relaxed KCCA FC coach whose team leads the Azam Uganda League log and are also in the Uganda Cup semi finals and the group stage of the CAF Total Confederations Cup said he was glad the players responded well after absorbing a lot of the Police FC attack. “I am happy we beat Express FC by the same margin last Friday and now also got a good result,” he added.
KCCA FC will now face Express FC in a two legged semi final. But Mutebi's first attention shifts to an away game on Tuesday away to bottom placed JMC Hippos FC.
