Kitara won their first ever Uganda Cup trophy after defeating NEC 1-0 in the final played at Muteesa II stadium, Wankulukuku on Saturday May 25th 2024.
the Second half substitute, Okwalinga scored the winner in the 73′ minute to hand the Royals the first ever major tournament final win.
NEC dominated the game and created the better of chances but were lethargic in front of goal while when they shot on target, goalkeeper Jamil Kiyimba was equal to the task
Cromwell Rwothomio and Rashid Okocha were the chief culprits on the afternoon sending their efforts agonisingly wide when presented with chances.
In the end, Benjamin Ochan who wasn’t worked as Ibrahim Kiyemba and company defended excellently picked ball from his net off a flick from Okwalinga after a good low shot from Donato Okello.
Kitara held on to win the game despite consistent attacks from the NEC side and won the ticket to represent Uganda in the Caf Confederation Cup.
