Local side, Azam will face Kenya’s Gor Mahia in the final of the 2015 CECAFA-Kagame Cup on Sunday, 2 August 2015 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

 

Azam confirmed their place after a 1-0 win Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) of Uganda whilst Gor Mahia beat Sudanese side, Al Khartoum 3-0 in Friday’s semi final matches.

 

The early kick off saw GorMahia concede in the first minute after their defender failed to deal with a cross from Anthony Akum, allowing Khartoum captain Amin Ibrahim to tap in the empty net.

It was a shock for a Gor Mahia side that has not tasted defeat in 28 games, both domestically and international until the 24th minute when Michael Olunga scored a penalty to draw level after Wagdi Awad Abdalla handled the ball in the penalty area.

 

From this moment, it was Gor Mahia on rampage and in the space of one minute Innocent Wafula scored the second with a superb shot that left Khartoum goalie Mohamed Ibrahim with no option and give his side a 2-1 lead at the interval.

 

In the second half, Gor Mahia resumed strongly and in the 55th minutes Medie Kagere sealed victory, tapping home Olunga’s cross.

 

Kwesi Appiah’s side struggled to comeback whilst Gor Mahia shot stopper Boniface Oluoch pulled some superb saves to deny them.

 

“It’s my first experience of the tournament, and to play three games in one week. It has been a good tournament for us. We believe we have got more positives than negatives and I believe the boys gave their best but the result did not come our way. We have to believe that Gor Mahia were a better side,” said Appiah.

 

In the other game, KCCA were undone by a Domayo Frank winner on 75 minutes, that sent local favourites, Azam into the final.

 

The Ugandans dominated possession but paid the price for their profligacy in front of goal.

 

“We have lost to a good and organized side but we displayed good football. We are proud of what the boys are doing. We got the job three weeks back but we managed to reach the semifinals, and it’s a good gesture of a team in progress” said KCCA Assistant coach, Sam Simbwa.
