KCCA FC and Lugazi FC played out a one-all draw at the Lugazi FC stadium, Najjembe.

KCCA FC should have sealed off the game early but missed chances from Bright Anukani, Usama Arafat and Sadat Anaku came back to haunt the Citizens.
Usama’s shot stung the palms of Lugazi’s goalkeeper Emuran in the 14th minute.
Usama teed up Katenga but the latter’s shot was kept out by shot-stopper Emuran in the 21st minute..
A minute later, Juma Ibrahim produced a timely block to deny the hosts’ Nelson Mandela from finding the back of the net.
Usama’s chance off his weaker foot was then cleared off the goal line in the 36th minute.
Mugume was fouled at the edge of the box, and a freekick was awarded to KCCA FC. He stepped up to take the resultant kick but his effort rattled the woodwork.
Lugazi’s Rogers Adriko and KCCA’s Hassan Muhamud were then cautioned just minutes away from the end of the opening stanza.
Goalless at the break.
