It was a tight first half contest at Philp Omond Stadium, Lugogo between KCCA FC and Soltilo Bright Stars in Uganda Premier League tie as visitors Soltilo Bright Stars beat KCCA FC 2-0.

In the 45th minute, Soltilo Bright Stars goalkeeper Simon Tamale tipped over Steven Sserwadda’s free kick for a corner kick which yield no fruits as the first stanza ended barren.
