Vipers return to life

As the first half saw the best-attacking force(KCCA FC) dazzle panel beaters(Vipers SC), it was the other way round in the second stanza as the defending champions were only relegated to clearing away balls from their 18 yard box as they survived ruthless attacks from the Venoms.

It all started with the introduction of Allan Kayiwa to replace Innocent Wafula and the equation changed at Lugogo.

The Venoms made a number of numerous attacks that left the KCCA FC goalkeeper, Jamil Maliyamungu and the entire KCCA FC defence fighting for life.

The final whistle was a sigh of relief for the hosts but also ensured they triumphed over their noisy neighbours.

Speaking shortly after the game, KCCA FC coach, Mike Mutebi admitted it was a game of two halves for both teams at Lugogo.

“The first half display is the way KCCA FC is supposed to play but in the second half we saw the other side of how to handle pressure when under constant attack. They asked us many questions but at the end of the day it was a good result,”Mutebi said.

The gaffer said the win now gives them the rhythm to try and chase the table leaders.

For Vipers coach, Edward Golola too admitted that his boys recovered well after an average first-half performance.

“In the first half, my boys respected KCCA but in the second half we changed formation and approach but were unfortunate not to score,”Golola said.

“We have lost against a good team but it won’t derail us. We shall not lose focus.”

The win ensured KCCA FC closed the gap with the log leaders, Vipers SC to only 10 points but also ended their unbeaten run.
