Ten minutes into second half, nearly the visitors got perfect start to the second half but Kigenyi’s effort from the edge of the area was saved well down low to Nfumu’s right.
YMCA continued pressing for another lead but William Kabunga missed a glorious opportunity to put his side ahead when Victoria’s custodian Nfumu Yusuf was already beaten but put the ball off target at an hour mark.
