KCCA FC’s journey in the FUFA Super 8 came to an end on Saturday as the team drew 0-0 with SC Villa in the return leg, with the Kasasiro Boys being eliminated from the competition on a 2-1 aggregate score.
The tightly contested match at FUFA Stadium, Kadiba, saw both sides create chances, but neither was able to find the back of the net.
Despite a determined effort from the away side, KCCA FC, the goalless draw was not enough to overturn the 2-1 defeat suffered in the first leg.
KCCA FC, looking to overturn the 2-1 deficit from the first leg, pushed for an early goal, but the SC Villa backline stood firm. The hosts, on the other hand, were content to soak up the pressure and counterattack, knowing that their aggregate lead gave them the advantage. Despite some promising attacking moves from both sides, neither team could find the breakthrough.
Herbert Achayi’s well taken free kick was headed inches wide by Ivan Ahimbisibwe in the 34th minute.
Three minutes later, Obenchan’s long ball was controlled by Shafik Kwikiriza in Villa’s box, but Mangoli was in the right position to clear the ball away in time.
With 5 minutes left to play, Jjara’s cross into Villa’s box was controlled by debutant Rogers Mugisha but his effort flew wide.
Villa’s skipper, David Owori, and Joel Sserunjogi were cautioned for delaying the restart and fouling, respectively.
Goalless at the interval.
After recess, a debutant Enock Bagenda and Emmanuel Anyama replaced Shafik Kwikiriza and Lazaro Muhindo.
Yian Gatbel later replaced Ivan Ahimbisibwe in the 70th minute in search of a breakthrough.
Fillbert Obenchan was then cautioned for a foul on Villa’s Andrew Otim with a quarter of an hour to play.
Sammy Ssebaduka and Alex Yiga replaced Filbert Obenchan and Rogers Mugisha with 10 minutes left to play.
Goalless at full-time.
While a spot in the semifinals was not to be, the tournament is far from over for KCCA FC. The team now turns its attention to the playoff for fifth place, where they will take on Maroons FC. The Maroons also lost their quarterfinal tie to BUL FC, setting up this crucial match for a respectable finish in the tournament.
The boys gave their all, and we had the chances to win the game. It was a tough match, and we have to give credit to SC Villa for their defensive organization. The first leg result put us in a difficult position, and we could not quite overturn it today. We shall get back to the drawing board and finish the tournament on a high.– Brian Ssenyondo
