Into the game, the hosts started on a high note with every out field player pressing high whenever they lost the ball as wingers Joseph Dhata and Rashid Okocha made several crosses.
Kitara’s halftime had little iconic moments with some shots from Jude Ssemugabi towards NEC’s goal being saved as shot stopper Chris Kusiima was doing the same with Rwothomio’s shots.
NEC stayed dominant in the second half until Kitara introduced Frank Tumwesigye alias Zaga, Living Kabon and Paul Mucureezi who changed the game.
Few minutes into the final whistle, Kabon Living scored what would have become a consolation goal but denied for offside.
