Tuesday Results
SC Villa 3-0 UPDF
KCCA 3-2 URA
Busoga United 2-1 Kitara
Mbarara City 2-1 Wakiso Giants
Bright Stars 1-0 Maroons
Muhammad Shaban was the hero as his winning goal enabled KCCA FC beat URA FC 3-2 in a Uganda Premier League (UPL) fixture played under the floodlights at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo, Kampala.
On the other hand, Norman Namanya and Viane Ssekajugo slotted home for David Obua’s side who played a good game but couldn’t come atop.
Ssekajugo netted into his own net moments after giving David Obua’s side the lead and James Begisa short chested back pass was met by Shaban who pounced to net the winner. Herbert Achayi was the one who made it 1-1 for the home side.
It was KCCA’s fourth win in succession after twice coming from down. The Kasasiro Boys have enjoyed a winning run having turned the tide following a sloppy start to the campaign.
KCCA move within a point of URA who sit 7th on the log with the Kasasiro in 9th position.
At Wankulukuku, Patrick Kakande grabbed a brace as SC Villa moved into third place with a 3-0 win over visiting UPDF.

Villa are on 25 points, seven behind leaders BUL who play Gaddafi on Wednesday.
