Uganda Christian University (UCU) needed a second-half resurgence to draw 2-2 with Kumi University in the Pepsi University Football League on Wednesday in Mukono.
While the result all but confirmed UCU's spot in the knockout stages, it ended Kumi's season journey, as they can no longer make it past the group stages.
First half goals from Stephen Nyalimo and Joshua Oosan looked to give Kumi the victory, but UCU surged back in the second half to pick a point.
