KCCA FC’s little title hopes were left fainted following their 2-1 loss to Vipers SC at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Saturday evening.

Caesar Manzoki and Milton Karisa scored for Vipers SC while Denis Iguma scored KCCA FC’s only goal in the game.

KCCA FC took an early lead courtesy of a freekick from Mugume Ashraf that was nodded home by Dennis Iguma past Vipers SC custodian Denis Kiggundu in the 5th minute.

KCCA FC custodian Benjamin Ochan was called into action to deny Milton Karisa from close range in the 15th minute.

Brian Aheebwa had a chance to double KCCA FC’s lead when he went for an over head kick that flew inches off the wood work in the 23rd minute.

Vipers SC leveled through Cesar Manzoki who headed past Ochan in the 27th minute after getting a good cross from Yunus Sentamu.

Anaku should have doubled KCCA FC’s lead when he controlled a good ball from Achai but failed to tap home with Vipers’ custodian to beat in the 33rd minute.

Karisa doubled Vipers’ lead in the 61st minute when he nodded the ball past Benjamin Ochan.

This was KCCA FC’s first loss in league at home this season and stretched Vipers’s lead on the log with 12 points ahead of second placed KCCA FC.
