EXPRESS played in borrowed jerseys from APR because of a clash of colours with Ulinzi yesterday, but, not even the new look scared the Kenyans, who sent the Ugandans packing.
The APR jersey is the most feared in the ongoing Kagame east and central Africa club championships.
The Rwandan army side has scored 15 goals in four games.
The exit of Uganda’s second club Express will be followed by that of champions SC Villa today, unless Gendermarie, that has conceded 20 goals in three games, hold or beats Tanzania’s Simba.
It has been a bad week for Express, who travelled from their Confederations Cup match against Lobi Stars with only a red kit.
Despite starting strongly at the Amahoro stadium, the Red Eagles looked blind in front of goal. Uganda’s best Hassan Mubiru and David Obua were toothless in front of goal.
The lack of goals further exposed the striking crisis that could affect Cranes chances in the 2006 World Cup/Nations Cup qualifiers that start in a month’s time.
Kenyan coach James Siang’a admitted he was short of shooters.
“We have never had shooters. I have a duty to reorganise the team— it needs a major overhaul,†said coach Siang’a.
Tom Ogweno, Fred Ogot and Sammy Simioyu scored for the Kenyan army side Ulinzi, while Express scored their consolation through Chris Othieno.
The CECAFA club championship is sponsored by Rwanda President Paul Kagame with the support of business weekly East Africa Procurement News,
