Lugazi registered a hard-fought 1-0 victory against NEC in the Uganda Premier League encounter at Lugazi Stadium in Najjembe on Wednesday.

Forward Sam Ssemugugu scored the only goal to help the newcomers collect maximum points on the day.

Lugazi came into this game off an impressive show in the game they managed to beat Express 1-0 at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo.

The hosts kicked off on the front foot creating several chances but where not so sharp in the final third as the first stanza ended goalless.

However Ssemugugu broke the deadlock in the 70th minute to send the home crowd in full voice and celebrations.

The forward was quick to pounce onto the loose ball after NEC captain Ibrahim Kiyemba lost possession at the center line before guiding the ball past goalkeeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo.

The victory takes Lugazi to the 11th position with eight points while NEC remain second on the log with 15 points.
