Makerere College lit up right away seeking an opener as the home crowd rallied behind them with chants and vuvuzelas. In the ninth minute, quick-footed forward Brian Mukulu broke the deadlock guiding the ball into the back of the net. Mengo Senior Secondary School nearly levelled matters but the long-range shot from John Senfuma rattled off the frame.

Nine minutes later, Mengo took the lead through Ukasha Ssentamu after being set up in style by John Senfuma. With four minutes to end the first stanza, Senfuma was in the right place to tap home a corner after Makerere College failed to clear its lines.
