NEC secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over KCCA in a Uganda Premier League clash at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Thursday evening.

The Kasasiro Boys suffered their first loss of the season in their ninth game of the 2024/25 campaign.

Mazamir Mutyaba’s solitary strike was the difference between the two Lugogo-based sides. NEC executed a solid game plan, effectively limiting KCCA’s space to operate in midfield.

In the 20th minute, Mutyaba broke the deadlock with a spectacular strike from outside the box, leaving the hosts trailing.

Just before halftime, Ashraf Mugume forced Ssebwalunyo into a brilliant save from close range, keeping NEC’s lead intact.

In added time, Anaku failed to connect with a precise delivery from James Mubezi, sealing KCCA’s fate as their chances fizzled out.

The victory lifts NEC to the top of the table with 19 points, one ahead of KCCA, after nine games in the campaign.
