Kigozi Andrew who was part of the Gomba team that claimed the the recent concluded Masaza cup then doubled the lead in the closing stages of the first half with a clinical finish.
Ffumbe Coach Ntege Richard admits the job is not yet done pending the return leg. He adds,
“Despite our opponents being a strong team they failed to harm us. It has been a result of hard work and working together as a team. It’s a win but we didn’t play to our expectations so we are going to correct all the mistakes and comeback more lethal.”
