Uganda’s Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) turned heroes on Sunday evening when they edged hosts APR 1-0 to go top of Group ‘B’ and set up a quarter final clash against Atlabara FC of South sudan on Wednesday.
This was the last group stage match of this year’s CECAFA-Kagame Club championship in Kigali. Steven Bengo’s stunning free kick in the 70th minute earned KCCA maximum points as the military side, APR, wasted several goal scoring opportunities which could have decided the game earlier.
The quarter final pairings were completed after yesterday’s Group B matches, where highly motivated APR lost to KCCA to finish second in the group with seven points, two behind the Ugandan champions.
APR will now play against their traditional rivals Rayon Sports in the second quarter final on Tuesday. Atletico also sealed a quarter final spot after bottom-placed Gor Mahia forced a 2-2 draw against Telecom of Djibouti.
Atletico who finished third with six points will face Group ‘C’ winners Police of Rwanda in the first quarter final match on Tuesday. KCCA will then face Atlabara of South Sudan on Wednesday while Tanzanian champions Azam will take on Sudanese El Merreikh in the other quarter final clash.
