Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Express condemned KCCA to their third straight Startimes Uganda Premier League defeat with a smash and grab 2-1 win at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo on Sunday.<\/b><\/p>\n

It is hard to remember a worse start for the 13-time league champions.<\/p>\n

The result, coupled with their elimination from the Caf Confederation Cup will pile more pressure on Portuguese coach Sergio Traguil.<\/p>\n

He was brought in to mark the start of a new era but on the basis of his team’s performances there has hardly been an improvement from last season.<\/p>\n

The defending has been diabolical with the latest example coming in the shape of conceding a goal from near post corner converted by defender Derrick Ngobi on 22 minutes delivered by Ismail Kawawulo.<\/p>\n

This is repeated theme for KCCA to concede recklessly from a corner, the same was witnessed against Libyan side Abu Salem in Tunis, the defeat to Bul and against the Eagles.<\/p>\n

In all, custodian Derrick Ochan has been culprit, and all of the sudden league teams are falling over each other to face KCCA and exploit the malaise.<\/p>\n

Striker Muhammad Shaban has been one of the few bright lights in this campaign and was again on the score sheet converting a low cross from Usama Arafat after 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

But Express remained the more comfortable team in possession with Rams Kawooya and Hussein Ssenoga running the show in midfield.<\/p>\n

Teenage midfield Andrew Kawooya carried the Red Eagles’ burden and bossed the hosts trio like he was on a picnic.<\/p>\n

It was from one of those constructed moves that Ssenoga released substitute Eddy Ssebandeke down the left with his cross headed in by Isaac Wagoina five minutes from time.<\/p>\n

If anything, Traguil still has a lot of work to do defensive wise and then make proper research about the demanding nature of the domestic league.<\/p>\n

It is now two home losses for KCCA while Express and one might wonder which kind of game they will be able to win.<\/p>\n

Next up for KCCA is a trip to Kitara in Masindi but from the inconsistent first team selection and lack of an identity one shudders to imagine whether they can get back on the winning trail.<\/p>\n

Eagles claws out<\/b><\/p>\n

This was an Express side there for the taking having lost several players in the off season and looking to new faces for redemption.<\/p>\n

They were also without last season’s league top scorer and captain Allan Kayiwa with midfielder Emmanuel Wasswa also missing as he is on-loan from KCCA.<\/p>\n

But they have made a solid start with yesterday’s result taking them to seven points after victory over Busoga United and the goalless draw against Mbarara City.<\/p>\n

Express moved to seven points from three matches while KCCA is still without a point in the same number if matches.<\/p>\n

Express coach James Odoch branded the milestone win as the hinge point for the Red Eagles’ to challenge for an eighth league trophy – a giant statement from a ridiculed side not many gave a chance to make the top four.<\/p>\n
