Soccer. For the magical performance on a cloudy Lugogo evening, Kaddu earned himself the man of the match accolade that comes with Shs100,000 and a plaque that will be handed over later.
Uganda Cranes center forward Henry Patrick Kaddu starred with three goals as KCCA humbled visiting Paidha Black Angels 3-0 at the StarTimes Stadium yesterday.
Kaddu scored a first half hat-trick with goals coming in the 15th, 20th and 43rd minutes.
The first was a headed effort off Mustafa Kizza’s delivery on the left wing after a quarter of an hour played.
The second, a sublime finish past goalkeeper John Kalumba’s right inside the goal area following an earlier blocked effort by Allan Okello.
The visitors were forced into an early change when midfielder Muhammad Kasirye (apparently from the sick ward with a bout of malaria) was replaced by Charlie Adam Anjuvuku after 33 minutes.
Kaddu completed his hat-trick at the stroke of half time with another finish clearly cleared off the line by Jerry Adebu.
The third goal was only indicated by the first assistant referee Gilbert Nyendo after the center referee George Olemu had waved play on.
KCCA thus smiled back to the locker-rooms for the mandatory half time break with a three goal cushion.
As the two sides returned for the second half, KCCA introduced teenager Steven Sserwadda replaced another teenager Herbert Achai two minutes inside the final stanza of the fairly attended game also graced by Uganda Cranes head coach Sebastien Desabre.
Kaddu and Allan Okello would have added to KCCA’s goals in quick succession but the visitor’s defence line and goalkeeper John Kalumba in particular were equal to the task ahead of them.
Paidha Black Angels then called off dreadlocked striker Jackson Nsubuga for Patrick Arua coming to the final 20 minutes of the game. KCCA manager Mike Mutebi ushered in a double change when Allan Kyambadde and Abubakar Gift Ali were introduced for the hat-trick hero Kaddu.
For the magical performance on the cloudy evening, Kaddu earned himself the man of the match accolade that comes with Shs100,000 and a plaque that will be handed over later.
KCCA thus recorded their 8th victory in 12 matches to consolidate grip on the summit of the league standings with 27 points.
Consequently, Paidha Black Angels remains bottom lagged with just 4 points of 12 matches.
