Moses Aliro scored on his senior debut for KCCA FC as they eliminated CATDA from the Stanbic Uganda Cup in the Round of 64 at the StarTimes Stadium on Friday.
Despite a strong showing from the Kampala Region side, they fell to John Revita and Aliro's strikes in either half to bow out in the presence of their cheering fans.
CATDA's classic performance on the day had KCCA FC coach Mike Mutebi praising them and admitting that he hadn't faced any opposition that is as strong this season.
"They asked a lot of questions and we almost answered. It is the best side we have played against this season," Mutebi said.
"They were threatening in every department, however, a big credit to my lads who responded well and managed to win the game," Mutebi stated after the game.

CATDA tactician Richard Amatre a former coach for the Lugogo side was pleased with the display of his charges, though he felt that they showed much respect to KCCA by not utilizing the many chances created.
"It was a commendable performance from my boys. We knew our opponents were better than us in everything but I told them not to mind and play our game.
"We created many chances but our finishing let us down," Amatre noted.
Amatre will now expect his side to replicate the same performance in the Buganda regional league.
"If they can put up such a showing against a top side like KCCA, I see no side stopping us in our league,"
Bulemeezi FC Masaza cup winning captain and MVP Ronald Ssekiganda bossed the midfield for CATDA dwarfing KCCA's Steven Sserwadda and Nicholas Kasozi for most of the match.
URA FC was also 4-0 winners over Lugazi Municipal Council FC with Michael Birungi, Shafik Kagimu, Said Kyeyune, and Cromwell Rwothomio getting the goals in Lugazi.
