Kizza gave KCCA a dream start in the second half when his shot proved enough for the 1978 champions to lift the trophy on foreign soil for the first time.
KCCA protected its lead for the remainder of the game allowing Azam to dominate possession and push forward. But Azam could not find the final touch as Mike Mutebi’s boys stayed calm. KCCA’s celebrations at the end were boisterous, with tens of supporters making the trip to Kigali for the final.
