BUL FC ended Kitara FC’s impressive 10-match unbeaten run with a narrow 1-0 victory at Nakivubo Stadium on Thursday.
Jeromy Kirya’s second-half goal was enough to secure the win for the Abbey Kikomeko-coached side, completing a double over Kitara in this season’s Uganda Premier League.
Kitara had gone unbeaten in their last 10 league matches, a run that started in November 2024 when they lost narrowly to Bright Stars.
During that period, the Royals kept 10 consecutive clean sheets, but BUL’s clinical display ended both their unbeaten run and their streak of clean sheets.
The first encounter between the two teams this season ended with BUL claiming a 3-1 victory at Royalpark Butema, Kitara’s home ground.
On Thursday, however, it was BUL who took the spoils again with Kirya’s decisive goal, securing all three points at Nakivubo Stadium.
This win marked BUL’s third victory at Nakivubo this season, having previously triumphed over Express FC and URA FC.
BUL also extended their dominance over Kitara, remaining unbeaten in six encounters between the two sides.With the three points, BUL FC moved to 32 points, maintaining their third-place position on the Uganda Premier League table.
Kitara, despite their strong performances this season, are fourth with 28 points.Looking ahead, BUL FC will face URA FC in their next match, while Kitara will look to bounce back when they host Mbarara City FC in their upcoming fixture.
