Stella Musubika scored an owngoal which was the lone goal for the FWEL select in 19th minute.

The Kawempe Muslim utility player then made amends in the 65th netting the third goal for the Ayub Khalifa coached team.

This was the second trial match for the U-17 team having won the first one 2-1 against Kampala Region Select in the mid week.

Ayub Khalifa pointed out concerns to be worked on before leaving for Mauritius.

” We have picked points of correction. We had a sweet win because we won but out of the win there are so many things we observed that we need to change.”

” The defense didn’t move as anticipated. The striking line is still lacking in that we don’t score goals that are created the way we want and we had a very big problem in the midfield.”

” So in the remaining one two trainings we have, we are going to see that work on those problems before we leave for Mauritius.”

Ayub is expected to trim the team to the required number of 20 players on Sunday evening as well as declaring the team captain.

Uganda will take part in this year’s COSAFA U-17 tournament slated for 20th – 29th September.

Team Uganda is pitted in Group A alongside the hosts Mauritius, Zambia and Comoros.
