Uganda Premier League | Results

KCCA secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory against Mbale Heroes in the Uganda Premier League encounter at MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Friday.

In a game played under the floodlights, KCCA came out of the kiln alive after humbling the Royals in front of a loud crowd.

James Mubezi picked Nsibambi in the ninth minute, but his header was planted wide as the hosts kept knocking on the door.

Two minutes later, attacking midfielder Mayanja drew first blood with a powerful hit to give the hosts the lead.

It was a sweet and solo run from Shafik Kwikiriza, who beat several bodies before setting up Mayanja on the right flank.

Nsibambi doubled KCCA's lead with an easy tap-in after rounding off Kitara's goalkeeper Chrispas Kusiima.

The custodian miscued his kick, and it ended up in Nsibambi's path, who made no mistake steps away from the goal line.

In the 58th minute, Bright Anukani's effort outside the box rattled off the frame before it was cleared away for a corner kick.

Kitara got two freekicks in great positions, but they poorly handled them, thus not picking anything out of the attacks.

In the dying minutes, Kwikiriza cut inside on different occasions but failed to guide his efforts on target.

The victory takes KCCA on seven points in three games while Kitara remains on three points in as many games played off the season.
