Watch: Youngster Patrick Kakande's late stunner rescues Villa a point at Kitara
SC Villa's attacking prodigy Jonah Patrick Kakande scored exquisitely from distance to earn his side a hard-fought Uganda Premier League victory against Kitara FC at the Masindi Municipal Stadium on Wednesday.
In the 85th minute, Kakande rolled on a loose ball, spotted goalkeeper Crispus Kusiima off his line, and struck a belter into the top right corner to make it 1-1 on enemy territory.
The strike made it six goals for Kakande in the league this season. He has also assisted twice in 16 games.
