The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala City ?? 2 ?? Rivers United 1
A brace from Derrick Nsibambi ensured KCCA FC continued their perfect CAF Confederation Cup home record at Lugogo’s Philip Omondi Stadium in Lugogo on Saturday.
Nsibambi struck on 16 minutes in the first half, then restored the lead in the 71st after the Nigerians had equalized on 33 minutes.
The striker sent his tally to four, having already bagged two in the CAF Confederation Cup but is most remembered for his 94th winner against El Masry in the first leg of the Champions League playoff at the same ground.
