At the Kira Road Police Arena, hosts Police Football Club registered an impressive 2–0 victory against KCCA FC.

The first half ended goalless, with both sides creating chances but failing to break the deadlock. However, Police FC came out stronger after the break and took the lead six minutes into the second half through Obedi Brian James, who fired in a stunning long-range effort after being set up by Denis Kalanzi.

Police FC continued to pile pressure on the visitors and doubled their advantage 11 minutes later. Forward Bedia Ikamba calmly finished off another well-worked move, once again assisted by Denis Kalanzi, who capped off a brilliant individual performance with his second assist of the match.
