Second half goals from midfielders Amir Kakomo Zake and David Owori “Colgate” handed SC Villa a deserved 2-0 win over Wakiso Giants under the Namboole floodlights.
Wakiso Giants dominated the first half of the game but the Jogoos came back in the second stanza a different entity.
The moment of the first half came in the 34th minute when SC Villa’s goalkeeper Said Keni brought down an on-rushing Viane Sekajugo few yards from the edge of the box.
Keni was subsequently booked by referee Ashadu Semere before saving Tom Masiko’s well curved effort from the resultant free kick.

Kakomo broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half with a strike from distance through a forest of defenders and past Emukule.
Owori then caught Emukule off his line to make it 2-0 with another beauty from a distance off an Ambrose Kirya pass in the 74th minute.
Wakiso Giants were later reduced to 10-men after their captain Fahad Kawooya was sent off for violent conduct on Kirya four minutes later.
Bashir Mutanda who replaced Faizal Muwawu in the two minutes before the second goal, nearly made it 3-0 with a solo effort but unfortunately missed target by inches.
SC Villa are now second on the log with 15 points, one behind leaders BUL FC while Wakiso Giants are eighth on 10 points.
Next on card for SC Villa is a tie against Douglas Bamweyana’s Maroons on Saturday 12th October at Luzira.
Wakiso Giants will seek to make amends when they play against Proline in their next game on the same day.
