Former SC Villa striker Oscar Kadenge yesterday netted a 90th minute goal that ended Uganda Revenue Authority’s quest for a maiden Cecafa Clubs Championship title.

The Kenyan forward’s winning goal gave Jacob Mulee’s Tusker a 2-1 victory. It was URA’s first defeat at the regional club competition.
Pre-match favorites URA were in front after just 22 minutes, thanks to a Martin Muwanga strike.

Muwanga outpaced Tusker defenders Ibrahim Shikanda and John Ngoroge to a Sam Mubiru pass, before beating Tusker custodian Boniface Otieno.
Ismail Kigozi could have put the tax collectors 2-0 up, but his super 30th minute header bounced off the cross bar. The half time score was 1-0 for URA.

Mulee made three changes soon after recess, including Kadenge for Simon Mburu. The trio injected urgency in the Tusker attack and it was not a surprise when Joseph Shikokoti nodded home Monday Osbond’s corner.
Kadenge then gave URA keeper Abel Dhaira with a well connected shot off a cross from John Kio.

It is Tusker’s fourth triumph in the competition while URA are now the losing finalists for the second year in a row. The win gave Tusker $30,000 or Shs48m in prize money courtesy of Rwandan President Paul Kagame whereas URA picked up $20,000 or Shs32m.

Simba won the $10,000 staked for the third placed team without breaking sweat after their opponents and rivals Yanga refused to play in the losers’ final.
