Mike Mutebi could count himself lucky. With pressure and speculation concerning his future at 13-time league champions KCCA in overdrive, basement dwellers Myda’s arrival to the MTN Philip Omondi Stadium in Lugogo couldn’t have come at a better time.
The only downside is that such a “sure win” match can turn out to be the noose handed to Mutebi if he cannot negotiate past the Malaba-based stragglers of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League today.
Godfrey Lwesibwa would have opened the score inside five minutes but he ended up heading Arthur Kiggundu s cross from a good position wide. Issa Lumu could not connect well with Lwesibwa s corner moments later as the hosts saw another chance go to waste.
George Ssenkaaba saw a number of his chances, including a bicycle kick, and a close-range shot, go out even though he had beaten Peter Magambo as he surged goalwards.
The rather wasteful home side, however, got an opener through Kambale in the first minute of added time before the teams went back for the half-time break.
Ssenkaba s replacement Frank Kalanda, who came on as the second half started, could not convert a number of chances that came his way. His combination with Kambale midway through the second half could have led to a second goal but Charles Lukwago in KCCA s goal was alert enough to deal with the danger.
