The Game started with KCCA FC creating some threats to the opponent’s goal with KCCA FC midfielder Ashiraf Mugume and winger Julius Poloto having possession of the ball. However both teams never managed to score a goal leading to a half time goalless draw.

In the second half, the hosts came back with energy and in the 54th minute Joachim Ojera put the hosts in the lead with a header from Brian Majwega’s cross before Captain Shafick Kagimu doubled their lead in the 66th minute anf thus the final score

Jackson Mayanja, the head coach of Kyetume expressed gratitude over their draw. He said that during the first round of this season’s Uganda Premier League-UPL, his side was struggling to earn a point from away matches.

He says that today’s result is a sign of improvement in their style of play.

Mayanja further says that, he is currently new at the club and is testing the abilities of individual players on the pitch, which will in turn enable the club’s technical bench to reorganize themselves and maintain their presence in the country’s top football league.

BULFC’s head coach, Arthur Kyesimira blames their average play on the afternoon rains which left the pitch soggy, hence incapacitating them from making accurate passes. He also said that his players lacked the ability to counter their opponents.

Elsewhere Mbarara City beat new comers Myda 2:1, Onduparaka FC beat Airtel Kitara 2:1 and Vipers humbled Busoga 4:0.
