It was the Venoms who started the match on a high note as Disan Galiwango delivered a good ball from a free-kick in the seventh minute but it was punched out for a fruitless corner by KCCA goalkeeper Charles Lukwago.
The Venoms, led by coach Fred Kajoba, continued to threaten their visitors and in the 20th minute Galiwango crossed the ball into the box, and Cesar Manzoki rose the highest but directed his header wide.
Sensing danger, KCCA started to threaten, looking to break the deadlock and Andrew Kigozi who had a good chance in the 29th minute to put them ahead but despite a good delivery from Ashraf Mugume, his final decision inside the box was poor as his weak effort went wide.
