- First leg Result: Abu Salim 3-1 KCCA
Uganda’s remaining representatives on the continent KCCA take on Libya’s Abu Salim at Kitende on Saturday aiming to overturn a 3-1 first leg in Tunisia.
The Kasasiro who last played group stages of the Caf Confederation Cup in 2017 under Mike Mutebi need to score two unanswered goals to progress after Abu Mayanja netted a consolation away.
Portuguese coach Sergio Traguil knows the task ahead of him and believes the lads will respond after what happened two weeks ago.
“We want to make a response in the second leg,” he stated in a pre-match briefing. “The players are ready and know the responsibility at hand. We believe it as a team and we will try to go and overturn the result,” he added.
“We need to be in control of the game and avoid the mistakes we made in the first leg and try to convert the chances we get then we shall have a chance. We will give it everything.”
Muhammad Shaban who missed the 1-0 defeat to BUL in the league last week is fully fit and is in the squad but late signings Mustafa Kizza and Emmanuel Loki are locked out.
