KCCA FC continued its pursuit of top honours with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Police FC.
The result moves the “Kasasiro Boys” to 39 points from 19 games, placing them 3rd on the table.
The match sparked into life in the 16th minute when Herbert Achayi unleashed a powerful free kick that rattled the woodwork before crossing the line to give KCCA the early lead.
The game grew increasingly physical as Police FC’s Deus Bukenya received a yellow card in the 24th minute for a foul on Lazaro Muhindo.
KCCA capitalised on its momentum at the half-hour mark, with Saidi Mayanja doubling the lead following a clever assist from Ivan Ahimbisibwe.
Police FC responded almost immediately. Just two minutes later, Lawrence Tezikya pounced on a loose ball in the box to pull one back, making it 2-1.
The half ended on a sour note for the Cityzens as Gavin Kizito was cautioned for a late challenge before being stretchered off following a heavy foul by Daniel Jakony. The latter got cautioned for the foul.
Kizito was replaced by Sammy Ssebaduka just before the break.

2-1 at the break.
In the second stanza, KCCA opted for fresh legs after the interval, introducing Kennedy Muserero for Shafik Kwikiriza.
Muserero nearly made an immediate impact in the 74th minute, firing a free-kick goalward after a foul on Mayanja, but Police keeper Mathias Muwanga was equal to the task.
As the clock wound down, the intensity remained high. In the 78th minute, Police’s James Obedi was cautioned for a foul on the lively Saidi Mayanja.
KCCA made a triple substitution to see out the game, bringing on Rogers Mugisha, Umar Lutalo, and Sharifu Ssengendo for Lazaro Muhindo, Saidi Mayanja, and Ivan Ahimbisibwe, respectively.
Despite late pressure from Police FC, KCCA held firm to secure all three points.
The Cityzens return to action on Wednesday, 11th March 2026, against Express FC in the Kampala derby under the lights.
