The winger came off the bench to ensure Jackson Mayanja’s reign at KCCA remains.

Allan Okello had a chance to give the visitors a lead but Gaddafi’s custodian Joel Mutakubwa pulled off a stunning save after 10 minutes.

Six minutes later, Muhammad Shaban found the back of the net but the assistant referee raised the flag for offside.
