KCCA played to an enormous 2-0 victory over African giants Al Ahly in an epic clash that was played at Mandela National Stadium in Namboole.

KCCA started on the back foot and they almost paid for their timid approach in the 23rd minuted when referee Victor Miguel Gomez pointed to the spot after Habib Kavuma handled the ball in the forbidden area.

Goal keeper Charles Lukwago saved his blushes with a superb dive, pushing out Walid Said’s penalty.

5 minutes later, Shaban Muhammad was on the receiving end of glorious opportunity but his header lacked contact and it went out.

Close to the end of the first period, Lukwago intervened again, closing in down on danger man Phakamani Mahlambi who was sent through on goal unmarked.

Returning for the second period, Mutebi withdrew Jackson Nunda for Lawrence Bukenya, a tactical change that swung possession into KCCA’s favour. He also introduced Derrick Nsibambi for Isaac Kirabira with an intention of drawing the silky Allan Okello into the number 10 role.

With 10 minutes left to play on the clock, an inter change of passes resulted into the game’s best moment when Saddam Juma launched a 25 yard strike which Elshenawy could not deal with.

Al Ahly threw everything in their armory at KCCA’s defence in search for an equaliser but they ended up being caught up on the break. Nsibambi was brought down in the area prompting Victor Gomes to point to the spot for the second time.

Captain Timothy Awany stood up and made no mistake but to bury the ball home far from Mohammed Elshenawy.

KCCA temporarily go to the second place of Group A with 3 points, Esperance and Township Rollers will later on face off in the another group A match.
