The 2019 Uganda Cup joint topscorer was on a recieving end of a Patrick Ochan cross which was brushed by Robert Sentongo in the penalty area in the 21st minute.

SC Villa sought to make amends in the second stanza but couldn’t find a leveller.

Edward Kaziba the Villa coach brought on Charles Lwanga, Lincoln Mukisa and Ronald Magwali in pursuit for an equaliser.

Lwanga, who came on for Benson Muhindo at the resumption came close to leveling the scores but his header from a corner kick came off the cross bar with Joel Mutakubwa already beaten in the 50th minute.

Bashir Mutanda also came close after capitalizing on a miscommunication between Jonathan Mugabi and his goalkeeper but his header missed target by inches.

SC Villa’s Moses Kiggundu was the first player to be booked this season while Kyetume’s Patrick Ochan and Benon Tahomera were the other players booked by referee Emmanuel Kiweewa.

Kyetume will play against Maroons on Tuesday at Luzira Prisons grounds in their subsequent league fixture whereas SC Villa will face Mbarara City on Wednesday, 4th September at Mandela National Stadium.
