Express FC delivered a remarkable performance to defeat city rivals KCCA FC in the highly anticipated Kampala derby played on Saturday at the MTN Omondi Stadium.
The Red Eagles secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the closely contested encounter, with captain Emmanuel Wasswa netting the decisive goal.
The former KCCA FC midfielder struck in the 30th minute, capitalizing on a brilliant assist from Richard Basangwa, who did the heavy lifting to set up the opportunity.
KCCA FC started the game positively, with Sadat Anaku coming close in the ninth minute, but his headed effort narrowly missed the target.
After Express FC took the lead, KCCA’s Mustafa Mujuzi almost leveled the score three minutes later with a well-taken free kick, but Express goalkeeper Emmanuel Kalyowa made a crucial save to keep his team ahead.
Despite KCCA’s efforts, Express FC demonstrated resilience and composure in the closing stages to secure all three points and claim the city’s bragging rights.
The result extends KCCA FC’s winless streak to four matches, dropping them to fourth place with 19 points.
Express FC, also on 19 points, climbs to third place, edging KCCA FC due to a superior head-to-head record.
Both teams will return to action next week. KCCA FC will travel to face Wakiso Giants FC, while Express FC will host URA FC.
