BUL held NEC after a one-all draw in the Uganda Premier League encounter at Lugazi Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The game started on a slow note as neither side took full charge of the physical encounter.
Cromwel Rwothomio had a big chance to give the visitors an early lead but failed to beat BUL custodian Joel Mutakubwa from close range.
Once again, Paul Mucureezi set up Rwothomio but the forward’s powerful was off the target after 15 minutes of action.
With seven minutes left for the first stanza to end, Rwothomio broke the deadlock with a well-placed header into the corner of the goal.
The forward climbed highest to guide Gaddafi Wahab’s well-weighted delivery into the back of the net.
Both sides made several changes to try and bring fresh legs into the middle park in the second stanza.
BUL came from the locker rooms with the right pace forcing the visitors on the back foot but their backline stood firm and strong.
Lawrence Tezikya put to waste a glorious chance to level matters after his touch off off Ibrahim Orit way way wide.
However Nicholas Mwere levelled matters with an effort from close range after NEC failed to clear the ball away from their area.
After the stalemate, NEC remain top of the log with 27points while BUL are ninth with 16 points
