    Uganda Christian University register maiden victory after edging Nkumba University 1-0  during the ongoing AUUS Games on Monday at Mukono B playing ground.

    The entertaining duel pulled a great local crowd that was yearning to take a look at young talents who were playing the beautiful game.

    The narrow victory lifted the mood of crisis after falling 2-0 to rivals Makerere University in the opening game of the tournament in front of their loud home crowd.

    UCU dominated possession but was too wasteful and failed to find the back of the net in the first half just like hapless Nkumba University.

    Harry Abiti finally broke the deadlock in the 54th minute to award UCU a well-deserved lead. Nkumba’s backline went sleeping on the job and the hosts punished them right away.

    While it was not UCU’s best show on the day, they managed to limit Nkumba’s deliveries upfront by giving no room to the pacy flanks who kept at bay all day.

    Nkumba’s lanky forward Mete Irivai asked the opponents several questions more so in the second half but UCU’s backline stood tall and firm.

    UCU has to beat Busitema in the last group game if they are to make it out of the group.

    After a 1-1- draw against Busitema, Makerere is leading group A with four points gathered in two games and will have a tricky duel against Nkumba in the game ahead of the quarter-finals.
