Mutebi said that he is glad his players have had chance to play as many games till the final because this helps them grow in confidence. KCCA dominated the first half with Allan Okello scoring before the goal was disallowed, and Sadat Anaku missing the target by inches.
The Azam side returned with a physical approach, but Kiiza’s strike was enough to give the Ugandan Premier League champions victory. FUFA president Moses Magogo who promised every KCCA FC player Shs 3.6 million ($1,000) in-case they won the title also attended the final together with CECAFA officials.
KCCA lifted the trophy and received gold medals together with a cheque of $30,000 (about Shs 78 million). The runner’s up Azam received $20,000 and Zambia’s Green Eagles FC who came third took home $10,000.
