Uganda Premier League (UPL) defending champions and representatives at this year’s CAF champions’ league, Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club (KCCA FC) were yesterday dumped out of the competition after being thumped 3-0 by Cameroon’s Cosmos De Bafia in the return leg.
KCCA who beat Cosmos De Bafia by 1-0 a fortnight ago in the first leg at Namboole failed to defend their 1-0 aggregate lead as they were condemned to a 3-0 defeat and consequently dumped out on a 3-1 aggregate.
Cosmos De Bafia took a first half lead through Tombi Alemi Francis who netted a brace on the evening. Ekamba Cyrille was the other man on the score sheet as KCCA’s road in the competition was brought to an end.
Cosmos De Bafia will now face Tunisia’s Esperance who they will host first before traveling to Tunis.
KCC XI: Yasin Mugabi, Sakka Mpiima, Simon Namwanja, Ayub Kizza, Ronnie Kisekka, Hakim Senkumba, Owen Kasule, Michael Birungi, William Wadri, Tom Masiko and Herman Wasswa.
