Kisasa FC continued their preseason preparations with a competitive outing against Rosslyn Academy Varsity Boys, in a match that tested both discipline and resilience.
The opening stages were balanced, with Kisasa showing improved communication and structure. The team held firm defensively, keeping Rosslyn at bay until the 26th minute, when a handball resulted in a penalty for the hosts.
Kisasa responded with growing attacking intent, creating chances, particularly from set pieces, but lacked the finishing touch in the first half. At the break, emphasis was placed on quicker decision-making and cleaner execution in the final third.
Nelbert produced a moment of quality, curling in a superb free kick to equalise.
The second half delivered exactly that. Despite an early missed penalty, Kisasa found their rhythm and pulled level before Nelbert produced a moment of quality, curling in a superb free kick to equalise.
With momentum on their side, Kisasa took control. Quick, decisive build-up play led to a third goal, and high pressing created a fourth, putting them 4-2 ahead.
However, Rosslyn showed resilience of their own, scoring twice late on to bring the match to 4-4. While the result may have slipped, the performance highlighted Kisasa’s attacking growth and increasing confidence as a unit.
