Patrick Ssenfuka came off the bench to net the winning goal, as National Super League defending champions Kampala City Council FC laid down a marker by beating rivals SC Villa 2-1 on Saturday night.

It was KCC’s first league victory over SC Villa since 2000. The victory continued coach George Nsimbe’s fairytale run with the club. He has now won 14 out of the last 15 games with KCC.

However, Sula Kato’s Villa were quicker out of the blocks and the record champions took the lead when Emmanuel Okwi sliced through KCC’s shaky central defense to slot home with the calmness of a hired assassin.

The champions hit back almost immediately when man of the match Vincent Kayizi converted a free kick on the edge of the Villa penalty area.
The free kick was awarded for a foul on pint-sized dribbling wizard Jeremiah Ssebuyira. Earlier in the day, Idris Kaye scored a spectacular goal to give Kakungulu Cup winners Victors a deserved 1-0 victory over 2005 champions Police.

Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), Express FC, Bunnamwaya, Maji, Iganga, Bugerere and Simba got off to winning starts. URA hit Kinyara 4-0 courtesy of two goals from Martin Muwanga whereas Bunnamwaya edged Nalubaale 1-0. Yuda Mugalu, who missed most of last season after a stomach operation, scored the only goal.

In Lira, Godfrey Wakaza grabbed a brace to give Simba maximum points against league debutantes Youfra FC. Express meanwhile needed an own goal from a hapless defender to beat newcomers Sharing 1-0.
