Coming into this game, KCCA who had picked a 2-all draw against Vipers at Kitende and were missing some key players, did just enough to get the job done against Abdallah Mubiru’s charges.

Eight minites later, pacy forward Lwanga doubled his side’s lead, scoring from a rebound after Brian Majwega’s initial effort had been parried away by Police goalkeeper Tom Ikara.
KCCA, who were dorminant could have scored more before the interval but missed on various occassions.
Lwanga Charles saw his effort saved by Ikara before exciting Midfielder Usama Arafat headed wide when infront of goal.
For the Cops, Yusuf Ssozi headed wide off a well taken free kick from Duncan Sseninde and it revealed more work had to be done in the last 45 minutes.
At the restart of the second stanza, KCCA continued with their dorminance but had to wait till late in the game to seal off their Victory.
