David Gombe
BUL FC and KCCA FC played out to a 1-1 draw in their league contest at Najjembe on Friday.
Ashraf Mugume had put KCCA FC on course to go level on points with table leader NEC FC but Jerome Kirya’s late strike earned BUL FC a stalemate.
It was fitting that there was nothing to split BUL FC and KCCA FC.
BUL FC started on top with Kirya forcing custodian Mutwalib Mugolofa into a decent save.
KCCA FC also had a great opportunity when Etienne Katenga had goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa to beat but his effort went wide. At the halftime breather, it was goalless.
Early in the second period, BUL’s Mutakubwa into a double save to deny James Mubezi and Katenga.
Second half substitute Mugume who replaced Bright Anukani gave the visitors the lead heading home a perfect Saidi Mayanja at the hour mark.
Kirya restored parity for the hosts with a powerful shot to beat goalie Mugolofa.
The stalemate sees KCCA FC move to four points while BUL FC remain winless this term.
BUL FC will next visit SC Villa on 25th September at Muteesa II in Wankulukuku while KCCA FC next host Kitara FC at Lugogo.
