KCCA FC extended their winning run in the Uganda Premier League to six matches after securing a 3-0 victory over Maroons FC at Phillip Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, on Wednesday.
The Kasasiro Boys made a bright start and were rewarded just six minutes into the contest when Derrick Basoga inadvertently turned Herbert Achai’s delivery into his own net while attempting to clear the danger.
KCCA almost doubled their advantage six minutes later, but Sammy Ssebaduka squandered a good opportunity, heading wide from close range after connecting with Achai’s well-delivered corner.
Maroons gradually settled into the contest as the first half progressed and began finding spaces in the hosts’ half. However, the visitors lacked the cutting edge in the final third to make their spells of possession count.
KCCA returned from the break with renewed purpose, looking to extend their advantage and put the game beyond the visitors.
Their pressure resulted in another own goal, with Jackson Nnunda inadvertently turning the ball into his own net to hand the hosts a two-goal cushion.
Four minutes from time, Mugume put the result beyond doubt, finishing off a well-worked move after being set up by Etienne Katenga to complete the 3-0 victory.
The win takes KCCA to fourth place on the league table with 19 points from nine matches, keeping them within reach of the leading sides as they continue their push up the standings.
The result also extends Brian Ssenyondo’s side’s winning streak to six consecutive matches, underlining their growing consistency after a strong run of performances.
Maroons, meanwhile, remain 11th with 11 points, having failed to find a response after conceding three times at Lugogo.
