KCC FC who were not playing well however registered two shots on target all from Brian Umony with the first coming in the 18th minute.
Herman Wasswa had a decent chance in the 40th minute but his header off Derrick Nsibambi’s cross missed target by inches.
After the break, Abdullah Mubiru withdrew Wasswa for Owen Kasule but it was the hosts that still played with a purpose.
The ‘Orange’ got their reward in the 62nd minute when Musisi’s would be cross ended in the net.
The left fullback started the move inside his own half and his inter-play with Mike Sserumaga saw him leave KCC FC skipper Sakka Mpiima on the floor before crossing the ball with Yasin Mugabi at fault as he failed to tip the ball over the bar.

REACTIONS:
Hamza Kalanzi – Lweza Stand In Coach
“The boys played as instructed. We knew playing against an experienced side like KCC FC would give us space as they don’t press. They did the pressing so well and in the end, it paid off. We didn’t win this game today but a few days ago. Hopefully, it kick starts our campaign.
Abdallah Mubiru – KCC FC Coach
“We fluffed our chances and we paid the price. We failed to put our game plan on the pitch but this is a marathon. It’s a disappointing result but we have to lift our heads in time for the next game.
