Uganda Premier League | MD4 | Saturday
- Entebbe UPPC 1-0 NEC
Samuel Junior Kawawa’s second-half strike sealed a 1-0 victory for Entebbe UPPC over NEC on Saturday, deepening the visitors’ poor start to the season at the Entebbe Works Grounds.
With head coach Hussein Mbalangu suspended, NEC looked disjointed under interim boss James Odoch and struggled to make their chances count.
The decisive moment came on the hour mark when Kawawa calmly slotted home a precise cross from Gift Odong to hand Entebbe their second win of the season.
The result lifted the hosts into the top four on seven points, a sign of steady progress after a mixed start.
For NEC, the defeat leaves them winless and 13th on the 16-team log with just two points.
Odoch will be desperate for a response when his side visits Mbarara City next Saturday, while Entebbe will look to build on their momentum against champions Vipers on November 1.
