• SC Villa 1-0 KCCA

Hassan Mubiru scored the all-important goal as SC Villa bagged maximum points in the Kampala derby.

SC Villa secured a well-deserved 1-0 victory against KCCA in the Uganda Premier League encounter at FUFA Stadium Kadiba on Saturday.

Even though the hosts enjoyed huge spells of ball possession, KCCA looked like they would take the lead since they created better chances infront of goal.

SC Villa goalkeeper David Lukwago kept the hosts in the game after palming Herbert Achai and Nana Kwikiriza’s efforts away from goal.

At the top of the hour, Mubiru broke the deadlock in an emphatic manner as he beat his marker and curled the ball past goalkeeper Mugolofa.

Despite facing his former paymasters, Mubiru did not keep his excitement under wraps as he wheeled away in celebration to match the energy in the crowd.

Despite KCCA throwing everything upfront in the final minutes of the game, SC Villa’s backline stood firm and tall to handle the pressure.

This victory is sweet not only because of the points gotten but it ends KCCA’s dominance in the Kampala Derby that has been rolling for the last six years.

Despite the victory, SC Villa remain fourth with 44 points while KCCA lie in the third position with 45 points in 22 games.

Uganda’s teenage striker James Bogere made his first appearance for the senior team at AGF Aarhus on Friday as they faced Nordsjælland in a game that ended 1-1.

He was an unused substitute in the team’s 2-1 win away to Viborg on Monday but four days later, Bogere was handed his senior debut, coming on as a substitute.

The El Cambio graduate came on in the 83rd minute, replacing Tobias Bech as Aarhus were searching for an equalizer. Indeed the goal arrived a minute later with defender Frederik Tingager heading home.

Bogere made rapid progress last year,playing at the FIFA U17 World Cup with Uganda before being included in Uganda Cranes squad that featured at AFCON in Morocco.

Alongside Hamuza Ssengooba, they sealed a move to Denmark early this year and the duo has heavily impressed with the U19 team.

Aarhus currently leads the table in the Danish Superliga on 50 points from 22 games, four ahead of Midtjylland.

At the this point, the League will head into the playoff stage where the top six face off in a home and away format to fight for the title while the bottom six will go through the same process to determine relegation.
