Uganda Cup: KCCA FC, Express FC and Onduparaka book Round of 16 tickets

Kampala Capital City Authority FC advanced to the Round of 16 of the Uganda Cup after beating Big League side Nyamityobora FC 1-0 on Saturday in Mbarara.

A goal scored by Charles Lwanga late in the second half was enough for the local giants who finally progressed on a 5-2 aggregate.

KCCA almost opened the scoring in the sixth minute but after receiving a pass from Julius Poloto, Jurua Hassan could only head wide at close range. Ashraf Mugume saw his strike saved in the 12th minute after he received a pass from Poloto too.

Another combination between Poloto and Hassan in the 20th-minute almost broke the deadlock but the latter's effort flew over the bar.
