Proline FC enjected out CAF Confederation Cup at home by Libyan Al Nassr to miss out the more than 1bn Uganda group stages.
Proline FC brilliant debut season in the CAF Confederations Cup came to a disappointing end on Sunday afternoon after losing 2-0 to Al Nasr.

Proline had chances to get back in the game but could not take them.
Hamis Kizza had a shot pushed away to safety by goalkeeper Abdulqaden Hamed.
Bright Anukani hit the cross bar from a rebound after Mujuzi’s free kick was charged down by the wall.
Joseph Mandela also had an effort rebound off the keeper and onto the cross bar.
Anukani had a shot driven away by goalkeeper Alriaydh Abdelrhiman, substitute Allan Egaku missed from close range before defender Bernard Muwanga’s effort hit the crossbar.
Noordin Bunjo who started on the bench, failed to beat the keeper late on in a one-on-one situation.
The result means that Proline bow out of the tournament and will have to wait for another time to reach the group stages.
