However, Nkumba quickly restored their two-goal cushion through Kagimu, who completed his brace in the 66th minute with a fine strike after being set up by Tasumba Buruhani.
The visitors continued to create chances, with Kaweesi missing an opportunity to extend the lead before Mukiibi Saad sealed the 4-1 victory in the 86th minute following a defensive error by Emmanuel Okiror. Kavuma Abbey provided the assist.
The victory gave Nkumba bragging rights over KIU, with Kagimu leading the way through his two goals.
