Just like after the first leg, I wasn’t happy with the home draw after wasting several chances, so coming unto this game, I was so determined playing against a tough opponent that also needed to win at home. Technically and tactically, we knew they would need an early goal, so we had to hold on to wait for our moments to cause damage. Want to thank the players that they followed the instructions. And on the side, I want to thank the management headed by president Deo Kasozi who has stood with us, the fans and all the players. Gama stated.

As Bunyoro, when the tournament was kicking off, my promise was that we shall handle each game as a final, so my strategy is still working well for us, I promised the fans progress to the group which we achieved then later progress from the group which we did then my promise to make otbto.the last four is what we have just achieved so we shall lay our strategy for the semifinal after knowing our opponent.
