Watch: Cromwell Rwothomio keeps Kasasiro Boys in the trenches

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.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, NEC, who have stayed third with 12 points, will play host to Gaddafi FC on November 1 at Lugogo.
