Uganda Cranes and KCCA Football Club creative midfielder Muzamiru Mutyaba believes teamwork will be an important component in the return leg on Saturday.

The two goal hero in the first leg played at St Mary’s stadium, Kitende down plays individual brilliance vis-a-vis team collective effort.

He thus remains optimistic he will play for the team than seek personal glorification.

Football is a team sport. Actually, we all listen to the instructions from the coaches and apply exactly that when we go to the filed of play.

The rest is left to the mighty power of Allah
