KAMPALA, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Uganda Premier League Champions KCCA FC qualified for the first round of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League here on Friday, beating visiting Namibian side African Stars FC 2-0 in their second leg match.
The win sees KCCA FC qualify on a 4-3 goal aggregate since they lost the first leg 3-2 in Namibia.
Defender Mustafa Kizza and youngster Allan Okello scored two second half goals for KCCA FC.
The home side attacked from the start of the game, and the visitors played a highly defensive game.
"I am happy that we have utilized our home advantage and won the game. After failing to score in the first 45 minutes we changed our strategy in the second half and it worked," said KCCA FC head coach Mike Hillary Mutebi.
African Stars FC coach Muhammad Fargo said it is unfortunate his team is out of the CAF Champions League.
"We played well in the first half, but made some mistakes later that have cost us," he added. Enditem
