The tactician now believes the game against the Venoms is a good opportunity for his charges to make their intent clear. "After playing three games without a win, we think Fridays game is a must-win, for us to remain in the title race, we have to win against our closest challengers and the boys know we have to win," "Also, we hope some players will be available both from suspensions and injury so we’re set." Experienced defender Murushid Juuko, who will be playing against his former team, co...

It is the reason coach Kajoba has called on the Venoms to make sure they make good use of the chances they create so that they dont end up being punished at the end of the game. “Well, you cannot get anything after the final whistle when you do not convert those chances into goals,” Kajoba told the club’s official website after the game. “We have to maximise most and bury the opportunities to avoid being punished because that’s the only way out.” Captain Paul Willa is confident the...

Paul Mucureezi could have opened the score in the 28th minute but he sent his effort over the bar after he had been put through on goal by Disan Galiwango. A minute after the half-hour mark, Murushid Juuko was booked after he exchanged words with referee Ssali Mashoodi. Mucureezi was unlucky in the 35th minute when his second chance went narrowly wide after receiving a cross from Karim Watambala. Watambala was the culprit in the 41st minute when he wasted another chance after Bbosi Byarughanga...

Erick Kambale came close to opening the scores for the visitors in the 20th minute when he created enough space to connect well to a corner delivered by Godfrey Lwesibawa but he placed the ball agonizingly past the near post on the left. Express goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga was called into action ten minutes later when his finger-tip save denied Villa’s Ronald Ssekiganda and at the opposite end, Saidi Kenyi also came through for the hosts with a similar save to deny Charles Musiige five minut...

"We have focused on attacking so that we can score and kill off the game as soon as possible. The Uganda Cup is a very important competition in the clubs history, having won it 10 times, we want to ensure we win it again. I am sure the boys will deliver." Goalkeeper Denis Otim seconded his tactician, exuding confidence the Kampala-based side will make it to the Round of 16. "On Tuesday we picked up two important goals against Kyetume FC and ever since, we have been training hard and correcting ...

Another combination between Poloto and Hassan in the 20th-minute almost broke the deadlock but the latters effort flew over the bar. Joseph Ssenyonjo and Sadat Anaku engineered a build up in the 26th minute but the low drive by Anaku went out as KCCA were more dominant than Nyamityobora. Ssenyonjo, after receiving a pass from Anaku, attempted to head home but his effort hit the crossbar as KCCA could not get the goal with another fine chance in the 31st minute.  Both Poloto and Anaku attempted...

“As a player I know consistency keeps you in the team, I think I played well [against Kyetume] and my goal also boosted my confidence so I know I have to keep it up in order to maintain a starting berth. “What counts is what you do when the coach trusts you so ahead of the Uganda Cup return leg [on Saturday], the focus is on advancing to the Round of 16 and the team is working towards that.” Tooki as he’s fondly known, made four appearances for the Red Eagles last season, three off the ...

“Well it was a tough game but we managed to pick up two important away goals,” Bbosa told the club’s official website. “I think the advantage is ours now and we’re going back to correct the mistakes we did today [Tuesday]. “Overall, I think we played well but we can do better in the return leg.” On his part, midfielder Byamukama was happy to notch his first goal for the club and also echoed coach Bbosa’s sentiments by stating they have the advantage going into the return leg as ...

Coach Bbosa has admitted during their first meeting in the league, his charges struggled to use chances they had created but said they had worked on the problem and were ready for the match, as their target this season is to win both the league and the domestic cup. “We’ve prepared well coming into this next game, the league win over URA gave us a boost but now next up is a knock-out competition [Uganda Cup,” Bbosa told the club’s official website. “We face Kyetume whom we faced in th...

Bbosa has praised his players for their resilience despite playing most of the game a man down, and further revealed how they came out on top because of using the chances they created. “We are glad we managed to win our first game of the second round at home,” Bbosa told the club’s official website after the game. “The most important thing today [Saturday] is that we prepared well, we managed to play even with 10 men but I think we used our chances well and the boys played as a unit now...
