KCCA FC and Express FC played out to a barren stalemate on Wednesday at the MTN Omondi Stadium.
Express FC custodian Denis Otim was named man of the match after making vital saves that earned his side a point at Lugogo.
Otim who started ahead of first choice goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa twice denied Sadat Anaku. In the 37th minute, Otim palmed away the forward’s powerful header.
Otim made another decent save in the second half when he tipped over the bar a Anaku left footed shot.
