Derrick Nsibambi scored twice inside seven minutes to give KCCA a 2-1 victory over Kuluva Rainbow and advance to the round of 16 of the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
Twice, the forwarded rose highest to score from headers off well weighted corner kicks from Said Mayanja – first in the second minute and later in the seventh minute.
The hosts pulled a goal back within the last quarter of the game when they were awarded a penalty but the Kasasiro held on as the search for a record extending 11th Uganda Cup continues.
In Kasese, Moses Aliro second half penalty after being fouled in the area was enough to see URA eliminate local side Mabira TC 1-0 in a closely contested tie.
The shock of the day was at the MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo where UPL side NEC were eliminated by Fufa Big League side Blacks Power 2-0.
Innocent Maduka and Joshua Omara scored the goals in the second half to punish the hosts who failed to take a lead despite winning a penalty earlier on.
Paul Mucureezi was adjudged by the referee to have had a double touch as he slid while taking the penalty.
It went in sending the goalkeeper the wrong way but the referee was at the right spot with not much complaints from the hosts.
Elsewhere, Gaddafi beat visiting Bushenyi Veterans 3-1 in Entebbe while UPDF and Pakwach Youngsters was decided by penalties after a goalless draw in normal time.
Action in the round of 32 will conclude on Wednesday with a top-tier clash between Maroons and Wakiso Giants at Prisons Grounds, Luzira.
