Kitara FC pushed further their impressive campaign after a hugely memorable 1-0 victory over 13-time champions KCCA FC at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Friday February 23rd.
Denis Omedi struck the only goal of the night for the visiting Royals to seal off a tightly contested affair under the floodlights.
The victory completed Kitara’s first-ever Uganda Premier League double over the Kasasiro Boys.
They had beaten them earlier in the season 3-1 in Masindi, on an occasion where Omedi, Living Kabon and Paul Mucureezi scored.
The Friday night game left a mark with a huge crowd of spectators, not easy to find that seem to be a history in the league games in recent times.
Both sides had multiple chances to break the deadlock both sides of the half, but it was Omedi’s 79th-minute moment that counted.
Meanwhile the Prisons Officer took advantage of a Peter Magambo mistake and struck hard and low in the corner past the outstretched arms of Anthony Emojong.
Following the victory, Kitara FC have closed down on table leaders with BUL FC. The former are second with 36 points, while the latter are on 38 after 18 games.
In their subsequent game, Kitara will host host Wakiso Giants FC in Masindi on February 27.
A day later, ninth-placed KCCA (23 points) will play NEC FC at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
