UPPC nips Kitara, mid-table mischief heats up

The Uganda Premier League is on a break after UPPC beat Kitara 1-0 in Entebbe. John Kokas Alou got the only goal late in the first half, assisted by a quick play from Hassan Ssenyonjo and Isa Mubiru. That result stopped Kitara's four-game win streak. The top of the table still has KCCA, Vipers, and SC Villa leading, with Police and now UPPC right behind them after this match at Bugonga Fisheries Ground.

UPPC controlled things for a while after halftime thanks to Steven Munguchi and Isa Bugembe locking down the midfield. Kitara, managed by Wasswa Bbosa, finally pushed back near the end. They earned a penalty when Jonathan Gift Odong fouled Jasper Ahebwa. Substitute Emmanuel Wasswa took the kick but completely missed the net, blowing the chance to tie the game.

The league standings show UPPC with twenty points after eleven matches, one point more than Kitara. The season is one-third done and now halts before restarting in early January.
