Allan Okello’s goal was enough to give KCCA FC a slender 1-0 victory over BUL FC, and keep their title hopes alive with two games of the season to play.
The forward scored from the penalty spot in the 35th minute, after he had been brought down inside the area.
The Kasaairo Boys had a rather fine first half, and could have added a second moments later when Okello’s cross fell to Muhamad Shaban, but the forward couldn’t apply a touch.
BUL rallied in the second half, and created numerous chances, but KCCA captain Benjamin Ochan stood firm to keep their slim lead.
First he did well to deny Jerome Kirya’s effort before pulling off a fingertip save to keep out Ibrahim Mugulusi’s splendid hit.
The home side nearly added a second late on, but Tom Ikara pulled off a fine save to deny Rogers Mato from close range.
It is still a close race at the top of the league with all three teams involved winning their respective games.
KCCA are second on the table level with Vipers who are top and third placed SC Villa on 49 points.
The Kasasiro Boys will travel to Jinja to visit Busoga United at the Bugembe stadium in the penultimate game of the season.
