- BUL 1-1 KCCA
BUL held KCCA in a 1-1 draw in the Uganda Premier League encounter at Lugazi Stadium in Najjembe on Friday.
Ashraf Mugume and Jerome Kirya scored for KCCA and BUL respectively in the end to end encounter.
BUL nearly took the lead in under two minutes when Jerome Kirya engineered a counterattack, but his final pass to Ramz Kawooya was far from required.
Ettiene Katenga surged forward before pulling off a powerful effort.
The ball deflected off the Walter Ochora, but KCCA’s shouts for handball went unnoticed.
Kirya forced Mutwalibi Mugolofa into two massive saves as the hosts kept knocking on the door.
At the death of the first stanza, Saidi Mayanja teed up Katenga, but the forward’s final effort went wide of the target.
Mugume broke the deadlock with a header from a perfect delivery by Mayanja. However, Derrick Nsibambi started the attack with a quick throw-in.
Kwikiriza nearly doubled the visitors’ attack in the 70th minute, but BUL’s backline stood tall and firm to clear the danger away from the area.
Four minutes later, Kirya restored parity with a powerful effort from outside the box to finally beat goalkeeper Mutwalibu.
The draw takes KCCA to four points while BUL has two points after two games into the campaign.
