KCCA FC poor run to the league campaign continued after suffering a 2-1 home defeat to arch-rivals Express FC in the Kampala derby on Sunday.
It was a continuation of the agonies of the season, Sergio Traguil’s players doing plenty to raise the hopes of their fans. In particular Muhammad Shaban, who has now scored three goals in three games.
The 13 time Uganda Premier league champions have now lost their opening three league games.
After a 2-1 loss to Maroons FC, Many thought the Kasasiro Boys would make amends but it’s was the Red Eagles who prevailed to a second consecutive away win.
More alarming is what this performance say about where the team is heading under Traguil.
Goals from Derrick Ngoobi and a late Isaac Wagoina header handed James Odoch’s side maximum points at Lugogo.
Shaban netted for the hosts who remain winless this term.

The full-time whistle was the prompt for boos from the home crowd, a reflex reaction born out of bitter frustration. Traguil’s empire is falling to pieces.
