KCC FC coach George Nsimbe won a battle of coaches’ egos with a 2-0 win over Moses Basena’s URA in the Super League encounter at Nakivubo. In Buikwe, Nalubaale’s Eritrean import Elias Dibaze was carried off with a broken leg.
Jeremiah Ssebuyira and Brian Omwony struck on 56 and 78 minutes respectively to maintain KCC’s 100% record and extend their stay on top of the league table and an unbeaten run to 21 games.
While the marksmen did their work, KCC’s upcoming goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan foiled attempts from Patrick Ochan, Ismail Kigozi and Martin Muwanga in daring fashion. URA has to blame their top scorer Muwanga, who on four occasions, failed to control the ball, with the keeper at his mercy.
“I am impressed. The players are playing as a unit since I took over,” Nsimbe said after the match.
The title chase intensified with Simba’s Godfrey Wakaza registering a brace and Willy Kavuma adding another, as the soldiers beat visiting Maji at Bombo, to leap-frog URA to second place.
Police beat visiting Iganga TC with a lone goal courtesy of Abraham Nega’s 72nd minute header at Namboole.
Moses Lutwama struck in the second half to salvage a point for hosts Bugerere, after Mbarara United’s Simon Olivier had put the visitors ahead in Ntenjeru.
Victors ran riot in the second half to down hosts Kakira, who had taken a first half lead through Crespo Asiku at Bugembe.
Goals from Simon Sserunkuma, Julius Ogunde and Idris Kaye saw the visitors take home maximum points while Dennis Kizito’s 20th minute strike helped Bunamwaya beat hosts Boroboro in Lira.
However, in Buikwe, Police had to escort Kinyara goal scorer Aloysius Lubega off the pitch, after Nalubaale fans threatened to beat him.
Lubega tackled Dibaze, who fell awkwardly to break his foot in the game.
