Express scored twice in the first half through Geoffrey Gagganga and Ronald Andabati while Cromwell Rwothomio netted for NEC in the second half.

Gagganga broke the deadlock in the fifth minute and that was his first goal for the club since joining from University Football League side Uganda Christian University (UCU).

Andabati doubled the Red Eagles’ tally in the ninth minute off new signing Richard Basangwa’s brilliant assist.

Rwothomio pulled one back for the visitors at the full hour mark but the hosts managed to hold on for a 2-1 victory.

It was Rwothomio’s second goal of the season having scored in their opening game of the season against his former club Vipers.

Coming into Thursday’s encounter, Hussein Mbalangu’s charges had a perfect run of three straight wins and that is no more.

They had defeated Vipers 3-1 at home in Lugogo, Kitara 2-1 away in Hoima, and UPDF 1-0 at home in Lugogo.

Meanwhile, Baker Mbowa’s team registered their second win of the season, the first since the opening day of the season when they beat newly promoted Mbale Heroes by the same margin and at the same stadium.
