Rivers United were defeated by Kampala City Council Authority 2-1 in the CAF Confederation Cup encounter on Saturday.
Although KCCA enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and had several chances, they could only get on the score sheet twice.
Tom Masiko had the first goal-threatening attempt of the game when he tried a shot from 35 yards out but Rivers’ Sunday Rotimi was equal to the task.
Derrick Nsibambi broke the deadlock 15th minute when he caught the Rivers United defense napping.
