The contest on pitch two between the same pool (group A) between Highway S.S (Kenya) and Uganda’s St Andrew’s Kaggwa – Gombe High ended goal-less.
Highway was led by CAF “B” licensed lady tactician Beldine Odemba who deployed a tactical game that completely phased out Gombe High’s talisman Travis Mutyaba.
Goalkeeper Paul Okumu, defenders Joackim Hirwa, Charles Fred, Dan Tidi and Robbie Magiza were all mean at the back-line.
Gombe High’s Mike Mukaaga, Paul Busolo, Brian Toto Manjub and Mutyaba were all goal shy.
Highway nearly separated the tie with a late strike but forward Andreas Odhiambo did not carry that scoring boot.
