The team beat Uganda by 2-0 goals to ease workload ahead of their second leg match to be played at Kampala's Nelson Mandela stadium on either May 17 or 18.

The brewers have set aside $100 (Sh118,000) for each player who traveled to Mwanza during the match.

While Stars are partying for the good performance, Mwakalebela made a call to other stakeholders to congratulate the team and motivate them ahead of their Kampala assignment.
