KCCA finally got their 2026/27 StarTimes Uganda Premier League campaign up and running with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kataka at MTN-Omondi Stadium on Wednesday.

The result came as a relief to coach Brian Ssenyondo after KCCA’s sluggish start to the campaign, lifting them up to eighth on four points.

Kataka, meanwhile, occupy the red-flagged zone with just a single point from their opening fixtures.

Police claimed their second win of the campaign with a 2-0 victory over Lugazi at the Lugazi Grounds in Najjemba.

Ramsey Jjemba sealed the points in the 89th minute with a composed finish after creating space with a sharp dummy.

The result lifted Police to fifth place on seven points, while Lugazi remained searching for consistency.

Elsewhere, Mbarara City and Entebbe UPPC settled for a 0-0 draw in Western Uganda, a result that leaves both outfits still searching for their first wins of the season.

How did KCCA finally seal the win?

The win came through a solitary goal that finally unlocked a stubborn Kataka defence at MTN-Omondi Stadium, with KCCA dominating possession but needing patience to break through.

What is the talking point in Kampala?

The argument doing the rounds in Kampala is whether coach Brian Ssenyondo has finally found the right formula, or if this win merely papers over the cracks of a sluggish start.
