This was KCCA’s first away win on the continental in a long while.
Mutebi shared his thoughts after the game and the young players fielded with the official club website;
Mike Hillary Mutebi, KCCA FC Manager
All the players played well and they died a little for the badge. You would see determination from them and am happy for the display.
You would see they had hunger and were unfazed about the big stage. Teenager Sserwadda was fearlessly taking on opponents and defending when we lost possession. Ssenjobe and Achai were good too. They have picked a leaf from Okello who also was handed a debut at a similar stage against Mamelodi Sundowns away in South Africa in CAF Champions League.
With Vipers and KCCA, Uganda now has two representatives in the Confederation Cup play-off stage, whose draw will be held on December 28, 2018.
