LUGOGO – Proline FC ensures they progressed to the CAF Confederations Cup qualification round thanks to a 2-1 victory over AS Kigali on Saturday.
Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Proline knew they required just a victory as that is exactly what they did.
Two goals from in-form striker Ivan Bogere did the damage despite conceding a late Farouk Ssentongo consolation.
Bogere who also netted a hat trick in the first leg of the preliminary round against Masters Security opened the scoring inside 10 minutes.
The 20-year old completed a slick counter attack, heading in Hamis Kizza’s pin-point cross.
He then doubled his tally off a Hakim Kiwanuka well-weight low ball to send the home crowd into a frenzy.
Proline could have added a third before halftime by Kizza saw his effort rattle the cross bar.
As Proline were headed for a comfortable victory, AS Kigali ensure there would be some nerves in the end.
Ssentongo who was guilty of missing a first half chance, beat Proline custodian Hassan Matovu with a low short to half the deficit.
It was a poor overall display by the visitors who came close to scoring on just a few occasions before Ssentongo’s consolation.
Martel Mba saw an effort saved by Matovu after making a brilliant solo run.
In the end, Proline ensured they continue their decent display in their maiden continental campaign.
They now progress to the qualification round as one of the 9 teams from the confederations Cup. The other 7 who include KCCA FC dropped from the Champions League.
The qualification round draws are set to be held earlier next week.
