Kitara FC will look to see out the tie and secure their spot in the FUFA Super 8 semi-finals when they host Police FC at home on Thursday night, holding a commanding advantage from the first leg.
The Royals go into the second leg 4-0 up after putting in a clinical display last Saturday. Kabon Living, Patrick Kaddu, Jimmy Kalema and Alex Wasswa all found the net with Kitara dictating the tempo for most parts of the game.
A positive result on the night would send the Royals into just their second ever Super 8 semi-final. Their only previous run to this stage came in 2024, when they were edged out 1-0 by BUL FC at the Philip Omondi Stadium.
Despite the four goal cushion, coach Wasswa Bbosa is refusing to let his side switch off, wary of the danger a two legged tie can still pose even with a big lead.
“We had a good game in the first leg, but that doesn’t mean our opponents are already out,” Bbosa said. “Police are a good side and they are capable of fighting back. We are approaching this game with the seriousness it deserves because we want to build on our momentum and make sure we progress to the next stage.”
The first leg also handed several new signings their competitive debuts for the club. Nicholas Kasozi, Jeromy Kirya, Christopher Bonney and Missi Diego Ssemugera all got minutes on the pitch, with the technical bench using the tie to build understanding and squad depth ahead of the new season.
Bbosa has hinted at further squad rotation for the return leg.
“Some of the new players got their first minutes in the last game and they performed well,” he said. “We also have others who didn’t feature for different reasons, and we hope to give them an opportunity to compete.”
The winner of this quarter final tie will progress to face either KCCA FC or BUL FC in the last four.
