Five minutes later, Aslam Ssemakula struck from long range following a corner, extending the Jogoos’ lead.
The visitors continued to pile on the pressure and looked more dangerous with every attack. In the 38th minute, Mpande nearly added another, heading just wide after a tapout by Buhimba’s goalkeeper. The Jogoos went into the break with a comfortable lead.
