The first leg ended 1-1 and both teams have a fair advantage of sailing through in the second leg. Times Sport takes a look at five key battles people should watch in the second leg. Pentecost Obiechina vs Omborenga Fitina The Nigerian attacker came up victorious against Fitina in the first leg as he left the APR right-back struggling on numerous occasions. Obiechina, who previously played in Slovakia and Czech Republic, was arguably the best player on the pitch as his side earned a valuable away point in the 1-1 draw. He will be up against Fitina again and must be stopped before he cause another havoc.

He complimented the effort of Obiechina as they mesmerized the APR defense. Buregeya must up his game to stop Mohammed or Pavelh Nzila will have an afternoon to forget. Abdul Rahman vs Victor Mbaoma Rahman handled Mbaoma very well despite the APR attacker getting the needed goal. Mbaoma, aside the goal he scored in the 47th minute as he reacted quickly to a cross from Omborenga Fitina, was virtually out of the game. If he wants to excel against Rahman, he must always be at the right place at the right time. Nicholas Kagaba vs Christian Ishimwe Kagaba, an overlapping right-back was superior on the wings as he effectively stopped Christian Ishimwe from moving forward. His marauding runs meant Ishimwe and Apam Assongwe who operated on APR's left side had to always be in their own half doing more defensive duties. Kagaba scored a spectacular long range drive from 25 yards as his side drew 1-1 in the first leg.
