However, just after restart, Elvis Kigongo, who also scored in the first leg, restored JICO's advantage that eventually sealed the deal.
They now await the three schools that will progress among the remaining six, that is; St. Mary's College Kisubi, Namilyango College, Kiira College Butiki, Makerere College, Mengo SS and King's College Budo.
Mengo holds a firm 4-1 advantage over Makerere, SMACK have a fairly comfortable lead over Budo while Kiira College boast a narrow 2-1 lead over Namilyango.
Namilyango, in the competition's next fixture, will hope to overcome their first leg defeat over Kiira when the two face-off at the former's home on Thursday afternoon.
