• BUL 1-1 NEC

NEC held BUL in a 1-1 draw in the Uganda Cup Semifinal encounter played at FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru on Sunday.

Jerome Kirya fired the host ahead in the 17th minute with a long-range effort beating Benjamin Ochan who was between the posts for NEC. It was a world-class strike that beat the custodian before finding the top corner.

The hosts held onto the lead until the halftime break as the score read 1-0.

Going into the second stanza, the visitors upped their game resorting to using the flanks and crossing continuous balls in the area.

Ten minutes after the break, Joseph Dhata restored parity as he guided the ball into the back of the net after being set up by Cromwell Rwothomio.

The result leaves the tie opened as the two sides have to match up in the second leg at MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.

The other semifinal saw Kitara beat Pajule Lions 3-1 in the first meeting in Masindi on Saturday.
