Crown started slowly in the game and found themselves trailing 2-0 after the first period thanks to a brace from Aidenla’s Fabian Oyalo.
In the second, they (Crown) tried to mount a comeback, scoring thrice through Adan Jama and Salad Muhamud (*2) but could only look on as Aidenal scored two more to win the game 4-3. Fred Kajoga and Moses Kaggwa were the ones on target for Aidenal in the second period.
Crown now remain 2nd on the log with 22 points from their first 11 games while Aidenal are now 10th on 12 points.
