Another combination between Poloto and Hassan in the 20th-minute almost broke the deadlock but the latter's effort flew over the bar. Joseph Ssenyonjo and Sadat Anaku engineered a build up in the 26th minute but the low drive by Anaku went out as KCCA were more dominant than Nyamityobora.
Ssenyonjo, after receiving a pass from Anaku, attempted to head home but his effort hit the crossbar as KCCA could not get the goal with another fine chance in the 31st minute.
Both Poloto and Anaku attempted long-range shots in the 40th and in the 50th minutes respectively but all efforts went off target for the Kassiro Boys. Morely Byekwaso made a first change in the 75th minute as he withdrew Anaku for Charles Lwanga.
