URA FC were pre-match favourites basing on current league form. Coach Sam Ssimbwa’s men came calling. Cromwell Rwothomio, Shafic Kagimu Kuchi and Michael Birungi had chances to put tax collectors ahead but were denied by SC Villa’s experienced keeper Said Keni.
Sc Villa had chances through Muhammad Senoga, Geoffrey Waswa from a set-piece and Ronald Olaki’s header that couldn’t disturb Nafian Alionzi.
And in Kakyeka Stadium, Mbarara City FC couldn’t capitalise on home advantage as it has been for many years against big clubs in the country. KCCA FC kept calm and forced a draw after a resurgent Ankole Lions.
