NEC FC 0-0 Mbarara City

Mbarara City and NEC FC played out a goalless draw in the early kick off of Match Day 4 of the Big League at Bugolobi Coffee grounds.

The anticipated clash was undone by the slippery and soggy surface following a lunch time downpour.

Both sides came into the contest unbeaten with NEC FC possessing a 100% winning record in the first three games.

The home side was boosted by the timely return of their inspirational skipper Marvin Kavuma who missed their previous win against Ndejje University.

Both sides had a share of goal attempts as they pushed to break the deadlock.

Kavuma, Derrick Ssekiranda and Farouk Ssekayi had chances to give NEC FC a deserved lead while Mbarara City also had forwards Henry Kitegenyi and Meddie Kyeyune with attempts but couldn’t find target either.

The most clear cut chance of the game fell to Mbarara City defender Johnny Mugweri Rubi who failed to tap the ball into an empty net with the keeper already beaten instead the added minutes.

The former Kajjansi defender poked the ball above the goal frame from close range.

The result means NEC remain top of the table with 10 points while the Ankole Lions are now 2nd with eight points.

Next on menu for NEC will be a trip to promotion hopefuls Kitara while Mbarara City will host Kataka FC.

Other games played so Kataka lost 4-3 to Ndejje University, Police salvaged a 1-1 draw against Calvary while Northern Gateway beat Adjumani TC 2-1. Kyetume also got off the mark with a 2-1 win over newbies Kaaro Karungi.
