On form midfeilder Muzamiru Mutyaba and forward Erick Kambale scored the goals for Express FC as they booked a spot in the 2021 CECAFA Kagame Cup final.
The Red Eagles fought from 1-0 down to win 2-1 against Zanzibar’s KMKM on Tuesday evening at the Azam Complex Chamazi in Dar-es-Saalam, Tanzania. Ibrahim Abdullah Hamad scored for KMKM.
“We’ve managed to win and reach the kagame cup finals, we came from behind to win because they led the game in the first half but we told the boys to focus and concentrate because the referee surely didn’t help matters but also the reason why we’re in the finals is because we play as a unit so now that we’re in the finals our focus is to win the trophy,” Wasswa Bbosa, the Express Head Coach said after the game.
Express will now face the winner between Azam and Malawi’s Nyasa Big Bullets. The final will take place on 14th August 2021 at a venue yet to be confirmed. The winner will pocket US$30,000.
