Alex Komakech’s penalty goal against LT St. Basile ensured eleven time champions St. Mary’s Kitende go through to the quarter finals of the ongoing East Africa secondary school games as Group A winners with seven points.
Komakech converted after Nordin Bunjo had been thought down BT the Burundians defense in his attempt to shoot inside the box.
