However, unlike the fans, head coach Sergio Traguil Moniz Daniel is unmoved by the result, at least going by his targets at the club.

The KCCA FC faithful are still recovering from the tough last-minute loss to URA FC as they exited the FUFA Super Eight on Friday afternoon at the MTN Omondi Stadium Lugogo.

However, unlike the fans, head coach Sergio Traguil Moniz Daniel is unmoved by the result, at least going by his targets at the club.

"Overall, the team was complacent because of the wins we have got in preseason so far. Yes, we lost Super 8, but it's not our main target," Sergio noted.

"Our main targets are the league, the Uganda Cup, CAF CC group stages and the Super Cup against Vipers coming up."

"We now have to go back and correct our mistakes and be ready to achieve our targets; we need to have a strong and winning mentality," he added.

The loss was KCCA FC's first of the season under the tutelage of the Portuguese tactician; the side will now play a classification game against the Jogoos to determine who finishes 3rd.

Sergio Traguil's charges started well after Eric Ssenjobe fouled Usama Arafat in the box after five minutes. A penalty was awarded, and Moses Waiswa stepped up, but Denis Otim saved it.

The visitors then took the lead in the 24th minute with new signing Ivan Ahimbisibwe nodding home Joseph Ssemujju's cross, but Filbert Obenchan replied six minutes later.

The tax collectors then sealed the deal with another new signing, Laban Tibita, slotting home the winner in added time.

The tax collectors will face BUL FC in the final next Sunday at the MTN Omondi Stadium Lugogo.
