South Sudanese goal scoring import Maqueth Wol found the equalizer four minutes after the restart of the game in the second half.

Habibu Kavuma got cautioned by FIFA Referee Brian Miiro Nsubuga in the 51^st minute.

Substitute Jackson Nunda had a second half goal disallowed, a moment that left many KCCA fans frustrated.
