Against Paidha Black Angels, a second division outfit, Mike Mutebi’s charges required an early strike from the veteran tried and test forward Geoffrey Sserunkuma in the 10^thminute

Sserunkuma was well positioned to slot home the opener after defender Joel Mundua mis-kicked a would be timed clearance

Nsibambi raced to a long ball played from right back and captain Dennis Okot Oola to loop the ball into the net over the advancing goalkeeper Saidi Data.

From this point on wards, Paidha Black Angels did not recover.

Mutebi beefed up the team when he replaced Muzamiru Mutyaba for a blocking midfielder Isaac Kirabira.

Paul Musamali, who had been booked in the first half was replaced by Habibu Kavuma and the age-less winger Vincent Kayizzi paved way for Dennis Rukundo.

The final whistle from FIFA referee Denis Batte left lasting smiles from the traveling KCCA crowd, the gaffer Mutebi and the players alike.

The game was graced by club patron Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago and KCCA Executive Director, Dr. Jennifer S Musisi .
