Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA FC) got off to a winning start in the 2019/20 Ugandan Premier League (UPL) season after a 1-0 win against promoted side Wakiso Giants on Saturday.
The defending champions grabbed the all-important goal in the 15th minute when Allan Okello brushed the ball into the back of the net after a well-delivered cross from Mustafa Kizza.
Wakiso’s Namwanja then got booked for a foul on Okello at the half-hour mark. Okello almost doubled KCCA’s lead with a weak effort in the 39th minute but Ibrahim Kiyemba cleared his lines.
In the second stanza, defender Musa Ramathan was cautioned seven minutes after the restart for a foul on Viane Sekajugo.
