Today everything didn’t seem to work the way we had prepared. That is the way it is at this level but it is not the end of the road for us,” said Nsimbe. A stunning free-kick midway through the half from Ugandan left back Shafik Batambuze put Tusker ahead before Mieno missed an opportunity to double his side’s lead as his side-footed effort went agonisingly wide. Tusker will now need to win the away game this weekend if they are to proceed to the first round, where Sudanese giants, Al Hilal await them. His absence angered the Ulinzi officials with Ulinzi vice chairman, Joe Birgen relaying his frustration on the club official portal.
