Vipers close gap on Azam Uganda Premier league leaders KCCA

Vipers close gap on Azam Uganda Premier league leaders KCCA

KCCA have for large spells this season been at the top of the Azam Uganda Premier League log, including an uninterrupted sequence since the start of the second round.

But following Friday’s home goalless draw with rivals Vipers, the 10-time league champions who are now left with three games to end the season could just relinquish that lead.That however requires Vipers, six points behind the leaders, to win their two games in hand to leapfrog their rivals on goal difference.

He had just seen his side let off the hook by substitute and KCCA old boy William Wadri who shot woefully wide in a one on one opportunity against goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan in the final minute of regulation time. In a game devoid of goalscoring opportunities, the chance was presented to Wadri after the otherwise decent makeshift central defensive pair of Richard Ayiko and Saka Mpiima collided.
The game described in the buildup as title decider by KCCA coach Mike Mutebi never brought the half full Nakivubo crowd to its feet with both sides known for a passing brand of football often struggling to string together six passes.
The result meanwhile also kept third placed Express in the title picture with the Red Eagles on 45 points, seven behind leaders KCCA before their game against Bright Stars .
