- SC Villa 3-1 Singida Black Stars
SC Villa secured a well-deserved 3-1 victory against Singida Black Stars in the CECAFA Kagame Cup on Friday evening.
Najib Yiga, Reagan Mpande, and Patrick Jonah Kakande were on target for the Ugandan side as they claimed maximum points.
As the game looked like it would end barren at halftime, Yiga produced a moment of brilliance firing Jogoos ahead with a beautiful curling effort.
Kakande doubled Villa’s lead from the spot a couple of minutes into the second stanza. The penalty was awarded after a foul on Mpande in the area.
Mpande put the icing on the cake in the 56th minute as he guided home David Owori’s delivery from the right flank.
The home side pulled one back through Togolese Marouf Tchakei, but the maximum points and bragging rights all belonged to Villa.
In the other Group C game, APR edged El Merriekh in a 1-0 victory to take the summit with six points.
Villa will face APR in the last group game, which is a must-win for the Uganda Premier League champions.
