KCCA Football Club proved they are inches above Wakiso Giants FC after securing a 3-2 win at MTN OMONDI STADIUM,Lugogo on Saturday Evening.
In a game that was evenly possesed at halftime,both sides could have broken the deadlock a bit earlier if they had moved with scoring boots.
Muhammad Shaban came first on the Victims’ list as he headed wide a beautiful curled in cross by Brian Majwega from within 300 seconds of the game.
Just after that,the visitors who had manned the midfield effortised a hard shot by Sharif Kimbowa but denied by Ali Mwerusi’s presence in what would be a goal.
Youngster Said mayanja will have hope from very many faithful as he stepped high running and passing in and out of the Midfield,mention his side net kick at the 10th minute of gameplay.
Morley Byekwaso who opted for two outright strikers in Kankonde and Shaban will keep a thinking as both produced three shots on target at Halftime,quoting the formers’ freekick denied by the woodwork in the 20th minute.
With five minutes to play at halftime,Arshraf Mugume came in for Emmanuel Wasswa in the first substitution of the game.
The introduction of Ashraf Mugume could be cherished by anyone at the fully packed MTN OMONDI STADIUM as he led proceedings from the center circle reserving time to score Kasasiro’s first goal of the 2022/23 season with riffling a ball in from Moses Waiswa.
The hosts capitalised on this goal to steer proceedings in pursuit for a 14th League title and Coach Morley Byekwaso is optimistic as he adds
“we have a big journey to move,but with this first game done,we hope to be there”.
Geoffrey Wasswa headed in Saidi Mayanjas’ cross in the 60th minute to make it two for the hosts.
The Visitors who were silent after halftime reduced deficit by one after Ibrahim Kasule put the ball past the hosts’ Goalkeeper in an interplay with Moses Aliro and this called for triple efforts from the Kasasiro who added a third goal and brace for substitute Ashraf Mugume.
John Luyindanas’ charges thought about resurrection late as their Midfield laid up Frank Ssebufu only to be fouled by John Revita for Centre man to point at spot.
Tom Matsiko stepped up and converted the penalty for the game to end 3-2 at Full-time.
