Wasswa Bbossa has demanded a scoring fix after Kitara squandered chances in Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Express at Hamz Stadium.
The Kitara assistant coach was left frustrated by his side’s inability to turn opportunities into goals, despite creating enough chances to win the Matchday Four Uganda Premier League contest.
“We have drawn 1-1; we have created lots of chances but haven’t put them away,” Bbossa said after the game.
“But I hope as we have been away and collected a point against Express, we can build on that and win the upcoming games.”
Frank “Zagga” Tumwesigye fired Kitara into the lead after 23 minutes, but Nicholas Jjonga restored parity for the Red Eagles on the stroke of halftime.
Neither side could find the breakthrough after the interval despite creating half-chances, leaving Kitara still waiting for their first league victory.
Bbossa knows that must change. “I want us to go back and work on our goal-scoring prowess so that we can win the upcoming games with a big goal margin,” he said.
The point was also costly for Kitara, who lost two forwards to injury.
Patrick Henry Kaddu and Isaac Amutuhaire were forced off, with both now facing a race against time to recover for Kitara’s CAF Confederation Cup assignment against Egypt’s Al Ahly.
Kitara have drawn both of their league games so far while Express have collected four points from four matches.
Captain Jasper Aheebwa welcomed the point but admitted the result came after a tough battle.
“It has not been an easy one. Thank God we have picked a point away from home. It’s not an easy task, but we build on that,” Aheebwa said.
