- FUFA Super 8:
- KCCA 4-0 Nyamityobora
KCCA Football Club humiliated Mbarara based Nyamityobora FC 4-0 during the first semifinal of the FUFA Super 8 played at the StarTimes Stadium, Lugogo on Tuesday.
Striker Patrick Henry Kaddu grabbed a first half brace with two second half goals from Allan Okello and a rare strike from substitute Lawrence Bukenya crowning the glowing evening before a relatively fair crowd that included Uganda Cranes head coach Sebastien Desabre.
Kaddu opened the scoring inside the opening twenty minutes after he lobbed the ball over goalkeeper Franco Oringa following a school boy mistake just outside the goal area before tapping in an empty net.
Three minutes later, Kaddu finished from close range – thanks to Julius Poloto’s well laid ball inside the goal area.
The spicy dancing celebration after each of Kaddu’s goals told the detailed story-line and the euphoria from the rest of stands.
Okello who had relatively silent day in office poked home the third before Bukenya’s rare strike, a beautiful finish after substitute Muwadda’s teasing delivery on the right hand by-line.
Muwadda had been released by midfielder Ibrahim Sadam Juma before his cut back was tapped home by Bukenya for a clinical finish.
KCCA manager Mike Mutebi called for all the three changes in the game. Poloto, returning after an injury lay off paved way for Muwadda, Isaac Kirabira replaced the weary although effective legs of Muzamiru Mutyaba and Jackson Nunda’s place was taken by Lawrence Bukenya.
Nyamityobora introduced John Wesley Kisakye for Lameck Ebong as the second half kicked off, defender Calvin Barni got injured and his place was taken by Ibrahim Pengere before Bruhan Matovu paved way for the stylish left footed Joseph Akwandwanaho.
The visiting team’s attempts to pull back at least a goal hit a dead end when Edward Moses Ndawula missed a free header off captain Alex Komakech’s curling corner kick.
Kisakye had a weak free-kick from 25 yards easily saved by KCCA goalkeeper Tom Ikara.
The goalkeeper was again at his best to save off Akandwanaho from close range before the executor skied the rebound over Legends side goal.
Two goal hero Kaddu was named man of the match, and rewarded with Shs 150,000.
KCCA books a berth to the final on a date that will be confirmed.
Meanwhile, the second semi-final clash between Arua side Onduparaka and Sports Club Villa at the Green Light Stadium has been pushed ahead until further notice citing political instability in the West Nile based district.
