Hassan Mubiru scored the all-important goal as SC Villa bagged maximum points in the Kampala derby.
SC Villa secured a well-deserved 1-0 victory against KCCA in the Uganda Premier League encounter at FUFA Stadium Kadiba on Saturday.
Even though the hosts enjoyed huge spells of ball possession, KCCA looked like they would take the lead since they created better chances infront of goal.
SC Villa goalkeeper David Lukwago kept the hosts in the game after palming Herbert Achai and Nana Kwikiriza’s efforts away from goal.
At the top of the hour, Mubiru broke the deadlock in an emphatic manner as he beat his marker and curled the ball past goalkeeper Mugolofa.
Despite facing his former paymasters, Mubiru did not keep his excitement under wraps as he wheeled away in celebration to match the energy in the crowd.
Despite KCCA throwing everything upfront in the final minutes of the game, SC Villa’s backline stood firm and tall to handle the pressure.
This victory is sweet not only because of the points gotten but it ends KCCA’s dominance in the Kampala Derby that has been rolling for the last six years.
Despite the victory, SC Villa remain fourth with 44 points while KCCA lie in the third position with 45 points in 22 games.
