Kenneth Kimera and KCCA old boy Andrew Kigozi were on target for the Purple Sharks on the evening.

Meanwhile, substitute Ashraf Mugume scored KCCA's consolation as they suffered an eighth defeat in just 15 games.

Kimera netted the hosts' first in the 25th minute as he caught Atube dilly-dallying with the ball to rob him and pounce past Ochan.

At the hour-mark, the latter spilt Tom Masiko's freekick in the path of Kigozi, who netted beautifully with an overhead kick.

Mugume pulled one back with a delightful freekick at the death, but it was too little too late as KCCA headed home with nothing.

It has been a bittersweet week for the KCCA faithful, as they came from behind earlier in the week to beat URA FC.

Meanwhile, Abdallah Mubiru's charges have ended the first round ninth on the 16-team log with 19 points in 15 matches.

They will kickstart the second round with a home tie against league leaders BUL FC on February 9.

A day later, 12th-placed (16 points) Wakiso Giants will visit Soltilo Bright Stars FC at Kavumba Recreation Center.
