The result ensured that the thirteen-time Uganda Premier League champions languish at the base and apparently have a worse record than strugglers Arua Hill SC (15th).
In one of the most unprecedented events in recent history in the Uganda Premier League, KCCA FC languish at the bottom of the table with no points after five games.
Forward Cromwell Rwothomio struck twice for NEC FC to win 2-0 at KCCA's home, the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, on Thursday under the floodlights.

FOOTBALL Jackson Magera: KCCA interim head coach demotes Traguil's foreign signings to bench
Magera took over from Portuguese tactician Sergio Traguil, who was sacked by the club following a slow start to the league, as they have lost each of their four games this season.
The result ensured that the thirteen-time Uganda Premier League champions languish at the base and apparently have a worse record than strugglers Arua Hill SC (15th).
KCCA has now lost five games in a row in the league after initial defeats to BUL FC (1-0), Maroons FC (2-1), Express FC (2-1) and Kitara FC (3-1).
While the latter game had Sergio Traguil sacked as head coach, it's not certain who will face the axe and take the scapegoat tag-name.

FOOTBALL FUFA rubbishes reports of hiring Sergio Traguil as Uganda U17 head coach
Meanwhile, it should be noted that weeks back, FUFA President Moses Magogo expressed his admiration of Traguil's style of play, stressing that he needed time to gel in at KCCA fully.
Meanwhile, on the evening, NEC made a blistering start to the game, and Rwothomio put them in front with a sweet looping effort past goalkeeper Joel Emojong in the fourth minute.
In a bid to find a leveller, KCCA surged and nearly got rewarded in the 15th minute, but Ashraf Mugume's shot was met with a decent stop from goalkeeper Samson Kiirya.
The visitors then made it 2-0 with three minutes to the half-hour mark through a close-range Rwothomio header.
KCCA made a livelier start to the second stanza and should have scored in the 48 minute, but substitute Abubakar Mayanja's shot was saved by Kiirya.
Eight minutes later, Muhammad Shaban nearly halved the deficit, but his diving header missed the target by inches.
As though it wasn't enough misery for the Kasasiro Boys, one of their few sparks this season, Usama Arafat, was forced off with an injury in the 75th minute.
In a bid to redeem themselves from the misery, in their next fixture, KCCA will take on fellow bottom side Arua Hill SC on Tuesday next week in Adjumani.
