KCCA FC and Brightstars FC shared spoils in the Startimes Uganda Premier League game held at Startimes Stadium, Lugogo.

The game was an end to end affair from the onset. Teenager and home debutant Joseph Kafumbe coming closest to scoring but his 30-yard strike was parried wide by the visitors’ custodian Edwin Kiwanuka.

Mike Mutebi made an early change in the opening stanza withdrawing Simon Serunkuma for Steven Sserwadda.

After recess, the visitors made a change introducing Augustine Kacancu for Henry Kiwanuka.

At the hour mark, the visitors drew first blood through Joseph Janjali but five minutes later teenager Steven Sserwadda drew matters level with a tap in from Kizza Mustafa’s free-kick.
