A goal from Omedi Denis saw Kitara FC close the gap on Uganda premier league leaders BUL with a 0-1 win over KCCA FC at Lugogo.
Omedi capitalized on a defensive blunder and struck a low shot that eluded goal keeper Isaac Emojong and netted the only goal to cap a determined display.
The victory saw the Royals close the gap on leaders BUL to two points as they consolidated second spot.
KCCA had been in fine form at home coming into this game winning five of their last matches but Kitara stunned them and completed a double over the former champions.
Kitara won 3-1 at the Masindi stadium before picking a famous 0-1 away in Lugogo.
Brian Ssenyondo called for calm after the triumph in his post match interview.
“It was definitely a good result for us on the road,’ said Ssenyondo. We knew that this match was crucial and I know that our fans must be very excited. But it is important that we stay focused and keep our feet on the ground.”
“The scoreline was not big but we can build from that,’ he added. ‘It’s a morale boosting one we have to be more determined because there is still a long way to go for sure. There are 10 or so matches left so it’s important we stay focused, calm and keep our sights set on completing the campaign among the top five teams.”
“It was a game of two halves. They pressed us and had chances at our goal but we contained them, came back in the second half more determined and played well until a breakthrough arrived. We cannot be overexcited after this win but we hope it turns into a trend.”
Kitara are second on the log with 36 points, two behind leaders BUL and will host Wakiso Giants at the Masindi stadium on Tuesday February 27.
