There is still a lot to play for in the return leg of the Stanbic Uganda Cup semi-finals between the reigning champions KCCA and Synergy.
The two clubs face off this Thursday, 31st May 2018 at the Star Times Stadium, Lugogo in Kampala.
This follows the successful completion of the first leg played on Monday at the Masaka Recreational Stadium where KCCA won 1-0 courtesy of striker Patrick Kaddu’s strike.
Ahead of the return leg, two coaches from the either camps talked about the readiness for their teams to face off.
During a press conference held on Wednesday at FUFA House in Mengo, KCCA FC was represented by assistant manager Morley Byekwaso and Brian Ssenyondo represented Synergy.
WHAT THE TWO COACHES SAID:
Morley Byekwaso, KCCA Assistant Manager:
We played well during the first leg although we could have scored more than the one goal we had on the day. We are determined to progress for the finals and defend the championship as well
Brian Ssenyondo, Synergy head coach:
During the first leg, we missed many chances and were unfortunate to be on the losing side. As a young side with players full of passion, there is hope that we shall pick a decent result from Lugogo just as KCCA also managed to win away in Masaka
