Kitara’s continental exploits ended with a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Al Ahly at the Cairo International stadium on Sunday.
The defeat meant the Hoima based side bow out 6-1 on aggregate but how did the Royals rate on the day?
Joel Mutakubwa: Made over six saves but still overpowered and conceded four goals. Kitara’s best performer on the day. 5
Henry Musisi: Had a tough evening and allowed so many crosses from his side including one in the lead up to the opening goal. 4
Jasper Aheebwa: Vulnerable all evening and made it easy for the hosts. Uncharacteristic of his performance over two legs. 4
Murushid Jjuuko: Lost the ball for the second goal and easily beaten for the third. Bad at office for the veteran centre back. 3
Isa Lumu: Booked for a deliberate handball in the first half. Overwhelmed by Al Ahly endless attacks. Lost his man for goal number four. 4
Misi Ssemugera: Made a few interceptions but waned as Al Ahly movement on and off the ball went till the final whistle. 5
Frank Tumwesigye: Not scared to take a risk despite the pressure his team played under. Composed and calm but opponents’ quality and class were way above. 5
Gadafi Wahab: Struggled to impose himself on the game though he had a few decent touches including a through ball to Kalema which he wasted. 5
Martin Kizza: Some good moments on the ball but not secure enough in possession down the wings. Won some fouls. 5
Jimmy Kalema: Wasted the only chance for Kitara when he shot wide after being played through by Wahab. 3
Patrick Kaddu: Lacked service throughout as Al Ahly kept pressure on. Subbed for Amutuhaire. 4
Substitutes
Emmanuel Wasswa: Replaced Zaga but chased more than he got on the ball. 4
Mweru Doka: Easily gave away possession the few times he was on the ball. 3
Kabon Living: Disappointing cameo. 3
Isaac Amutuhaire: Difficult to remember anything from him. 2
Patrick Asiki: Rarely touched the ball. 2
