The roving right-back curled the ball past goalkeeper Simon Tamale, whose touch failed to put away the ball.
In the 36th minute, SC Villa goalkeper Norman Angufidru made a thrilling save, punching away Bashir Mutanda’s effort.
Despite Maroons’ efforts, the visitors stood tall and held onto their lead into the halftime break.
