• Wakiso Giants 1-2 KCCA

KCCA FC returned to winning ways on Sunday, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wakiso Giants at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium.

Both teams entered the game struggling for form. Wakiso Giants are now winless in nine matches, while KCCA had failed to win in their last four outings.

KCCA took an early lead in the 14th minute when Etienne Katenga finished a fine pass from Sharif Ssengendo. However, the hosts equalized 12 minutes later through Hudson Mbalire, who headed in Timothy Oyamo’s precise cross.

The decisive moment came in the 57th minute. Substitute Emmanuel Anyama struck from close range, and although Wakiso Giants goalkeeper James Alitho appeared to have kept the ball out, the second assistant referee ruled it a goal.

Despite late pressure from Wakiso Giants, KCCA held firm to claim all three points, climbing to third place in the league with 22 points.

Wakiso Giants, meanwhile, remain in the relegation zone, sitting 14th with just nine points.
