Magumba and Ismail Kigozi put it beyond the visitors, who pulled one back through Hamisi Kitagenda. Magumba got his chance in the 32nd minute, when he converted a penalty after Philip Ssozi was brought down in the box by Heroes’ defender Jerry Ajule. It was a frustrating sight of Sunguti, Nestroy Kizito, Sozzi, Magumba wasting open chances.The most glaring was when the Kenyan striker eluded his marker, rounded the keeper but shot wide.
