The lone goal came as early as the 7th minute and was scored by Hassan Kikoyo at the Kavumba Recreational Grounds Police’s goal was a penalty after forward Herman Wasswa Nteza was fouled.

The Cops had more opportunities to further their lead but Wasswa and Denis Kalanz couldn’t bury their chances into the net.

Geoffrey Akena, the Adjumani coach is however confident his side is still much alive in the tie. And they will do everything to turn things around.

” Our target was a draw against Police which we haven’t achieved but the one goal margin is a fair result on our side. We can build from that and overturn the results at our home.”

A win for the Cops in the first leg. Thank you lads.
