Earlier in the day, Kampala’s fierce rivalry between hosts KCCA and SC Villa at the MTN Omondi Stadium could only end in a draw.
Sadat Anaku gave KCCA the lead after 63 minutes but Jonah Patrick Kakande struck back five minutes later to salvage a point for Villa.
The exchange of punches in the first half saw Kakande executing a rabona cross into the KCCA box, with the hosts clearing their lines, and Ettiene Katenga missing a glorious opportunity just before the break.
The breakthrough under the floodlights finally came just after the hour, Katenga drilling in a well-weighted cross from the left, which Anaku headed in to wild celebrations from the home fans.
Villa’s answer came from the other side of the pitch, Charles Lwanga beating his men down the right before crossing for Kakande to tap in at the far post on 68 minutes.
This was both KCCA and Villa’s respective fifth draw in 13 matches. KCCA moved to 23 points, five behind leaders Vipers, but remained third on the log. Villa are seventh on 17 points.
