NEC came from a goal down to overcome Adjumani Town Council FC in a thrilling encounter played at the Bugolobi Coffee Ground on Thursday. Adjumani grabbed the lead when Joel Aldo Indi found the back of the net and remained in control at the break. NEC returned and scored through Derrick Ssekiranda, Richard Ajuna, Marvin Kavuma, and Ivan Kamoga despite Nasur Alhamad getting another for Adjumani. Indi gave Adjumani the lead in the 15th minute of play, tapping home from close range following a low corner kick. There was significant improvement after the break for the home side and ten minutes into the second half, Ssekiranda drew the game level. Barely a minute later, the score read 2-1 with left back Ajuna dashing into the box to finish off Kavuma’s cutback cross. Kavuma would also score his name on the score sheet to stretch the lead. Even when Alhamad gave Adjumani some hope of recovery with their second goal, the attempt was tamed with Kavuma putting the game to bed. Victory takes NEC to second place on 16 points, one behind leaders Kyetume FC. Adjumani Town Council on the other hand finds themselves languishing in the drop zone, third from the bottom with 8 points.
