Background Before the match taking place, the two teams had 17 titles between them, with Uganda claiming a record 12 of them. Kenya hadn't participated in a CECAFA Cup final since 2008, when they were beaten 1–0 by Uganda, who won their 9th title that year. This was the second time the two nations faced each other in a final since the beginning of the tournament in 1973, and the 33rd time since the beginning of the Gossage Cup in 1926. At the group stage of the tournament, Uganda beat Kenya 1–0 in the second match of the tournament, through a goal from Geoffrey Kizito in the 74th minute.

Midfielder David Ochieng rose high to head in a corner kick taken by Kevin Omondi in the 13th minute to give Kenya the lead. The second half brought the second and final goal of the match when 57th-minute substitute Clifton Miheso scored 9 minutes after his introduction to send the Bright Stars out of the tournament.http://www.futaa.com/football/article/cecafa-2012-miheso-on-target-as-stars-drub-south-sudan CECAFA 2012: Miheso on target as Stars drub South Sudan 27 November 2012 Rodgers Eshitemi Futaa.com 8 December 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121128181048/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/cecafa-2012-miheso-on-target-as-stars-drub-south-sudan 28 November 2012 dead The night after the match, midfielders Paul Were and Kevin Omondi sneaked out of the Kenya team's camp and did not return until the next morning.

Three minutes later, though, striker Elias Mamo caught the Kenyan back line off guard with his long-range shot to narrow the score. However, a comeback was not to be for Ethiopia as David Ochieng also doubled his tally through a header from a free kick taken by left back Abdalla Juma to book a place in the quarter-finals against Malawi.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/20556303 Kenya reach Cecafa Cup quarter-finals 30 November 2012 Andrew Jackson Oryada BBC 8 December 2012http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kenya-through-to-cecafa-cup-quarters Kenya through to CECAFA Cup quarters 30 November 2012 Brian Moseti Futaa.com 8 December 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20140818073232/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/kenya-through-to-cecafa-cup-quarters 18 August 2014 dead The quarter-final clash against Malawi proved to be challenging for the Harambee Stars, but they nevertheless found a goal in the 57th minute, when A.F.C.

After ten minutes, however, captain Nadir Haroub headed Kevin Omondi's cross, intended for Mike Baraza, into his own net with goalkeeper Ally Mwadini off his line. Mwadini almost cost his side another goal in the 36th minute, after his attempted clearance came off Baraza and hit the post and went out for a corner kick. Late in the second half, Aggrey Morris regained the lead for Zanzibar after striker Jaku Juma Jaku was tackled in the box from behind by David Owino. It took just five minutes for Kenya to level the score, after Baraza headed home a corner kick taken by left back Abdalla Juma. Though extra time was not enough to find the match a winner, Ahmed Adeyom became the first player to be sent off in the tournament, after injuring Victor Ochieng in the 112th minute and getting booked a second time, having been already shown the yellow card in the 58th minute. The subsequent penalty shoot-out came off to a disastrous start for the Heroes, as Khamis Mcha Khamis and Ally Othman both missed their team's first two penalties. Goals from Aggrey Morris and Samir Nuhu were not enough, as Mike Baraza, Joackins Atudo, Edwin Lavatsa and finally Abdalla Juma were all on target to take Kenya to the final.

Both teams fought for possession for virtually the rest of the match, and Gor Mahia forward Edwin Lavatsa could have equalised for the Harambee Stars before the half-time break, but his first-time shot from a through pass by Sofapaka midfielder Humphrey Mieno hit the post and went out for a goal kick. The Kenyans did not give up, and finally, in the 87th minute, Lavatsa was on target again, this time levelling the score for his side by converting an accurate pass from winger Paul Were and restoring hope to the Kenyan fans for a first title in 10 years. Three minutes later, those very hopes were to be shattered when captain Modo was adjudged to have handled the ball just outside the right side of the box. His Ugandan counterpart Hassan Wasswa made no mistake, delivering a superb cross into the box for Sài Gòn midfielder Geoffrey Kizito to head home and give Uganda a record 13th title, widening the gap between them and Kenya to 7 titles.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/20655010 Uganda beat Kenya to retain Cecafa Challenge Cup 8 December 2012 Andrew Jackson Oryada BBC 8 December 2012http://www.futaa.com/football/article/cecafa-2012-cranes-beat-kenya-to-retain-title CECAFA 2012: Cranes beat Kenya to retain title 8 December 2012 Rodgers Eshitemi Futaa.com 8 December 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121210132950/http://www.futaa.com/football/article/cecafa-2012-cranes-beat-kenya-to-retain-title 2012-12-10 dead http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/637976-uganda-beats-kenya-to-2012-cecafa-title.html Uganda beats Kenya to 2012 Cecafa title 8 December 2012 Joseph Kizza Futaa.com 8 December 2012 Details 8 December 2012 18:00 UTC+3 UGA KEN 2–1 Ssentongo 28Kizito 90 Lavatsa 87 Namboole Stadium, Kampala Thierry Nkurunziza (Burundi) Report _Uganda11Home _Uganda11Home _Uganda11Home _adidaswhite _color_3_stripes_black FFFF00 FFFF00 FFFF00 000000 FFFF00 Uganda _kenya12h _kenya12h _kenya12h _kenya12h FFFFFF FF0000 FF0000 FFFFFF 000000 Kenya UGA x70pxUGANDA: GK 18 Hamza Muwonge RB 6 Dennis Iguma CB 4 Henry Kalungi CB 5 Isaac Isinde LB 15 Godfrey Walusimbi RM 13 Moses Oloya 90+4 CM 3 Geoffrey Kizito CM 16 Hassan Wasswa (c) LM 2 Joseph Ochaya 55 CF 9 Robert Ssentongo CF 7 Emmanuel Okwi 41 65Substitutes: GK 19 Ali Kimera DF 14 Nicholas Wadada MF 8 Saidi Kyeyune 65 MF 12 Manco Kawesa 90+4 MF 17 Brian Majwega FW 10 Brian Umony FW 11 Hamis Kizza 55Head coach:SCO Bobby Williamson 300pxKEN x70pxKENYA: GK 1 Duncan Ochieng RB 14 Anthony "Modo" Kimani (c) CB 4 Joackins Atudo 79 CB 15 David Owino 21 LB 3 Abdalla Juma RM 17 Clifton Miheso 49 CM 16 Humphrey Mieno CM 6 Anthony "Muki" Kimani LM 18 David Ochieng CF 19 Edwin Lavatsa CF 9 Mike Baraza 39 Substitutes: GK 10 Martin Musalia DF 2 Thomas Wanyama MF 11 Paul Were 81 MF 12 Kevin Omondi 21 81 FW 5 Enock Agwanda FW 8 Rama Salim 49 FW 13 Patilah Omotto Head coach:KEN James Nandwa Assistant referees: Mussie Kindie (Ethiopia) Mohammed Idam (Sudan) Fourth official: Mohamed El Fadhil (Sudan)Match rules 90 minutes.
