The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
⚽🇺🇬 KCCA 1 Vipers SC 0
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | An early Muzamiru Mutyaba goal proved to be the difference as Startimes Uganda Premier League champions KCCA ended Vipers’ unbeaten run at Lugogo today.
A fine run on the wing by Ssekisambo, had the ball laid for Mutyaba to thump in his first goal of the season on 31 minutes.
The result breathes life into KCCA’s bid for a 14th title, and casts doubts about The Venoms’ ability to break this hold by the Lugogo team
Vipers remain top of the table with 33 points from 14 games, but KCCA could top the table at the end of the first round if they win the rest of their games.
Mike Mutebi’s boys remain in 5th with 22, from only 10 games.

Coach Mike Mutebi’s side played without skipper Charles Lukwago, Allan Okello and Nicholas Kasozi. They are away with Uganda Cranes on National duty as they prepare for their second AFCON qualifier game against Malawi on Sunday at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole,
Pre-match, Mutebi had vowed to win the game. “We have a responsibility to win this game. We are playing a team that has centered their case as an emerging force in Ugandan football. We want to front our case as defending Champions of the league,” he had said.
He was spot on.
