Uganda Premier League 2021-2022 (Match Day 18):
- Saturday, 19th February 2022: KCCA 3-1 Onduparaka
Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Football Club registered a 3-1 home win over Onduparaka at a fully packed MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Saturday, 19th February 2022.
Herbert Achai, Arafat Usama and Hassan Jurua scored the goals for KCCA on the sunny evening.
Baden Mujahid’s long range first time shot was the consolation for the visitors.
Achai gave KCCA a first half lead on 34 minutes with a well curled free-kick after good planning involving midfielder Yasser Mugerwa.
The former Kibuli SSS student curled the ball past diving goalkeeper Michael Kagiri into the top corner of the goal.
On the hour mark, Usama doubled the lead following a goal melee after goalkeeper Kagiri had initially saved Davis Kasirye’s close range tap-in.
The visitors pulled back a goal through Mujahid’s first time volley past goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan with 7 minutes to play to give the Catarpillars hope of a possible come back.
Mujahid’s first time shot came off 25 yards from a headed clearence by defender John Revita.
Defender Jurua had other thoughts altogether with a stoppage time winner, a goal from over 30 yards that flew straight to the goal.
There were two cautions for KCCA for Brian Majwega and Jurua (removed shirt after scoring).
Onduparaka captain Muhamad Shaban, a former KCCA player was also booked as well as left footed midfielder Davis Mayanja.
Herbert Achai was named the pilsner man of the match.
