KCCA RECLAIMS UPL THRONE AFTER MAYANJA STUNNER; KITARA PRESSURE MOUNTS
Dramatic UPL action sees KCCA snatch a late 2-1 win over NEC to top the league. Plus, Patrick Kaddu's brace keeps Kitara in the title hunt.
Saidi Mayanja's late goal secured KCCA a 2–1 victory over NEC in Lugogo, pushing them to the top of the UPL. At the same time, Patrick Kaddu scored twice, helping Kitara keep up the pace with a 2–0 win against Maroons.
Sometimes, playing KCCA's song, which calls them soccer leaders, feels wrong since they haven't won a major trophy in six seasons.
The league is still young, with only a third of the games played. But playing the song at Phillip Omondi Stadium after KCCA's 2-1 win over NEC, at their shared home in Lugogo, didn't feel too out of place.
This win puts KCCA at 23 points from 10 games, giving them a three-point lead for at least a day until Vipers plays Bul.
Midfielder Saidi Mayanja became KCCA's hero with two goals, around a Titus Ssematimba header, in a match where both teams ended with 10 players.
KCCA took an early lead when Mayanja scored in the fifth minute after NEC's defence didn't clear Sammy Ssebaduka's cross.
Just before that, Joseph Dhata missed a good chance for NEC, who struggled to find that final touch in a game full of energy but lacking consistent quality.
NEC coach Badru Kaddu made some changes after half an hour due to injury and tactics, bringing in Allan Mugalu and Ibrahim Musa.
These changes paid off early in the second half when Titus Ssematimba, a half-time substitute, headed in NEC's equaliser from Charles Waibi's cross in the 48th minute.
But Ssematimba's joy didn't last long. He was sent off in the 68th minute after receiving two yellow cards in 12 minutes.
Emmanuel Anyama then made things easier for the referee, Shamirah Nabadda, when he stamped on Ibrahim Musa and received a straight red card as KCCA tried to regain control.
There was still time for more drama. NEC's Ibrahim Juma lost the ball to Alex Yiga, who passed to Mayanja, who scored the winning goal off the post with two minutes left, sending KCCA fans wild.
This win marks KCCA's fourth in a row. NEC, on the other hand, are ninth with 11 points and is still finding its feet under Kaddu, with only one win in six games since he took over.
Elsewhere, Kitara is now third with 19 points, four behind KCCA, after Patrick Kaddu's two goals led to a 2-0 victory over Maroons at Butema Ground in Hoima.
The former Maroons striker, who grew up in Luzira, headed in a cross from Edward Namaasa in the first minute. Then, he ran onto Frank Tumwesigye Zaga's through ball and shot past Maroons goalkeeper Hassan Matovu.
Kaddu's goals bring his total to six for the season, which is almost half of Kitara's 14 goals in nine games.

LIFE AFTER OKELLO: HOW ABDULKARIM WATAMBALA BECAME VIPERS' NEW MIDFIELD COMMANDER
Vipers SC dismantled Police FC 4-1 at Kitende, led by a stunning AbdulKarim Watambala goal to extend their lead at the UPL summit.
Vipers came out flying, up 3-0 by halftime against a stunned Police squad. Once again, AbdulKarim Watambala pulled the strings in midfield, making everything tick.
With this 4-1 thumping at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Vipers held onto their three-point lead at the top of the Startimes Uganda Premier League heading into the last games of the first round.
Honestly, what was supposed to be a top-of-the-table clash turned into a breeze for the defending champions. They probably played their best half of football since Ivan Minnaert took over as head coach last July.
Watambala, who’s looked like a new man since his close friend Allan Okello left, set up the opener for Milton Karisa with a clever through ball. Karisa made no mistake, poking the ball past a scrambling Mathias Muwanga in the 32nd minute.
Then came the moment of the night. Watambala picked up a pass from Enoch Ssebagala just outside the box, and with police defenders backing off, he smashed a rocket in off the underside of the crossbar. That was his third goal in two games, after his brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over URA.
Right before halftime, Odili Chukwuma put the game to bed, heading in Usama Arafat’s cross after nutmegging Richard Matovu.
Police barely threatened all evening, but Saidi Kyeyune managed to pull one back with a low shot just four minutes into the second half. It didn’t matter much. Vipers stretched their lead again in the 77th minute, when substitute Yunus Sentamu headed the ball across for Usama to tap in their fourth.
The win pushes the Vipers to 33 points. Police drop to third with 27. KCCA move into second place after brushing aside UPDF 4-0. Sammy Ssebaduka grabbed two goals, with Joel Sserunjogi and substitute Alpha Ssali also on the scoresheet.
UPL UPDATES: KCCA FC HELD IN LUZIRA WHILE POLICE FC CLOSE THE GAP AT TOP
Police FC move to second after beating Calvary, while KCCA is held to a goalless draw by Maroons in a rusty MD13 clash.
After beating Calvary, Police moved up to second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. KCCA didn't score against Maroons, and Entebbe UPPC beat UPDF, keeping the title race close on match day 13.
Police grabbed second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after a 2-0 win against Calvary at Kiira Road on Wednesday.
Breaks during the season are usually a time for teams to regroup and let players rest after many games in a short time. But for the Uganda Premier League, there hasn't been much going on since mid-December, partly because of the 2025 AFCON.
Today's game between Maroons and KCCA in Luzira was different. Both teams seemed out of practice, which might explain the dull game that ended with no score.
Neither team seemed ready to push for a win, and there were few chances to score.
KCCA and Maroons each played one game between December 17 and today, losing to Police and Buhimba United Saints, respectively. That's just one game in 35 days.
Maroons played a physical game, preventing KCCA from controlling the ball and playing their usual style. This could be why coach Brian Ssenyondo took out Ashraf Mugume and Saidi Mayanja at halftime, replacing them with Brian Jjara and Derrick Nsibambi.
The home team kept KCCA away from the goal, and even when they brought in another striker, Emmanuel Anyama, later in the second half, they didn't get many chances.
Maroons defended well as a team to earn a point, putting them in seventh place with 16 points.
For KCCA FC, this result is a setback in their chase for the title. They are tied for first place with 27 points, the same as Police, who beat Calvary FC, and Vipers, who have two games left.
Wednesday's results:
Maroons 0-0 KCCA
Police 2-0 Calvary
UPDF 0-1 Entebbe UPPC
