URA FC claimed a massive 2-1 victory against KCCA FC to storm the FUFA Super 8 Finals as they dedicated the win to their late head Coach Sam Timbe.
Golas from new boys Ivan Ahimbisibwe and Laban Tibita were just enough to guide the tax collectors past KCCA FC at their home ground the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo.
A game dominated by the hosts KCCA FC at the start against a more defensive side of URA FC who put up 8 defensive plays on the starting 11 with only three offensive players on the pitch.
KCCA FC failed to utilize their early chances in the game as Moses Waiswa failed to convert from the spot after foul on Arafat Usama in the penalty area in the 5th minute of the game.
Debutant Ahimbisibwe headed in a well timed cross from Joseph Ssemujju to beat goalkeeper Anthony Emojong as he put the visitors in a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute.
Filbert Obenchan scored the only goal for KCCA FC as he headed in a cross from Arafat Usama after a short corner with just a minute to halftime to level the scores.
KCCA FC missed a couple of chances in the first half with URA FC’s Ahimbisibwe coming close to scoring the second on the day as he dribbled past a couple of KCCA players in a solo run but his effort was parried away by a strong hand of goalkeeper Emojong.
Second half substitute Laban Tibita scored in the added minutes of the second half to separate the scores as he gave URA a 2-1deserved lead.
