WILL SC VILLA OVERTAKE KCCA: VIPERS WIN AS CALVARY SINK AT THE BOTTOM
SC Villa and Vipers SC secure crucial wins to stay within touching distance of league leaders KCCA before the mid-season break.
On Wednesday, SC Villa and Vipers SC did just enough to keep pace with KCCA, who are leading the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. Meanwhile, Maroons had the most impressive showing, easily defeating Express at home.
SC Villa managed to stay close to the Startimes Uganda Premier League leaders before the month-long break, eking out a 1-0 victory against Calvary, who are at the bottom of the league. The game took place on Wednesday evening at the Fufa Kadiba Stadium in Mengo.
Aslam Ssemakula scored a penalty in the fifth minute after Najib Yiga was fouled by Stephen Oriokot. Despite a determined effort from Calvary, who were looking to salvage at least a point, no more goals were scored.
This win puts Villa at 23 points, just three behind KCCA and one behind Vipers. They were likely thankful for that early goal, as Calvary threatened to take points off yet another major team, having held Vipers the previous week.
Calvary paid the price for a shaky start at the Kadiba Stadium. They almost fell behind in the first minute when Frank Ssebufu went through on goal, forcing Calvary's goalie, Hadji Shukuru, to make a fingertip save.
Around the 15-minute mark, the striker also missed connecting with a cross from Frank Mulimi, as Calvary struggled against the intense pressure from Villa.
Gradually, Calvary got into the game, forcing Villa's goalie, David Lukwago, to make saves from Daniel Opio and Lawrence Olaboro before halftime.
Calvary continued to match their opponents, playing well from their own end. The fact that they've only managed to score six goals (the fewest in the division) continued to plague them.
This loss leaves them at the very bottom of the table with only three points from 11 games. They now face a long trip back to Yumbe and an even longer struggle to avoid being relegated.
Earlier in the day, the current champions, Vipers, also did their part, securing a 2-1 away win against Lugazi in Najjembe before the break.
Usama Arafat gave Vipers an early lead in the eighth minute, tapping in the rebound after Milton Karisa's header was saved by goalie Juma Mutebi.
This was Usama's fourth goal, continuing his good run with Vipers after moving from KCCA.
Later, substitute Yunus Sentamu scored Vipers' second goal in the 74th minute, running onto a long pass from Robin Kane Hney and lifting the ball past Mutebi.
Lugazi managed to pull one back a minute before the end when Ashiraf Mulindi's shot, which seemed weak, was not controlled by Alfred Mudekereza.
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
