Kitara was held to a 1-1 draw by Mbarara City in a Uganda Premier League encounter at Royals Park, Butema, on Friday.

The hosts had an early opportunity to take the lead in the 10th minute when Patrick Kaddu was set up by Frank Tumwesigye, but his weak effort failed to trouble the goalkeeper.

Kitara continued to press, with Fred Amaku’s volley narrowly missing the target. Mbarara City's defence looked shaky under pressure.

After the break, Kitara intensified their attacking play, forcing Mbarara City to defend deep.

Their efforts paid off in the 46th minute when the referee awarded them a penalty after Jude Ssemugabi was fouled inside the box.

Kaddu made no mistake from the spot, sending goalkeeper Abdul Kimera the wrong way to give Kitara the lead.

However, Mbarara City responded in the 77th minute when Henry Kitegenyi converted a penalty with a powerful strike, levelling the score.

From that point, Mbarara City looked the stronger side but lacked sharpness in the final third to find a winning goal.

Following the draw, Kitara remains in sixth place with 29 points, while Mbarara City sits in 13th place with 22 points from 20 matches.
