NEC secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory against SC Villa in the Uganda Premier League encounter at MTN Omondi Stadium on Friday.

In an end-to-end encounter, NEC secured maximum points to go back on top of the log.

SC Villa started strong creating several chances on the day but failed to find the back of the net in the first stanza of the game.

Jonah Patrick Kakande and Charles Lwanga came close but were not sharp enough in front of the goal.

Paul Mucureezi broke the deadlock in the 57th minute with a low drive that went through Jean Braddy Wokorach's palms.

Hakim Kiwanuka levelled matters in the 72nd minute with an exciting finish to bring back the game to life.

It was a well-built goal that was kick-started by Anorld Odong before Charles Lwanga set up the eventual goal scorer.

With four minutes to end the game, Cromwell Rwothomio silenced the visitors with an acrobatic effort that guided the ball into the back of the net.

The victory takes NEC on top of the log with 22 points while SC Villa remained fifth with 14 points after playing 10 games.
