It was a highly anticipated game following last year’s result where Onduparaka beat reigning champions Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) by 2:1 at their Arua based playground.
The tension and number of fans was understandable as buses ferried Onduparaka supporters from Arua.
Before kickoff, the Phillip Omondi Stadium was full; some said it could be a record attendance.
The game started well with both sides being cheered by their enthusiastic fans.
However, trouble became eminent when KCCA took advantage of their home ground to freely score in the one sided goal.
After realiosing that it was almost over, KCCA fans started chanting and moving around the stadium.
Onduparaka fans were not amused and they put up a spirited fight as KCCA fans approached their section towards the end of the game.
Both fans started pelting stones towards each other and the match officials were forced to stop the game.
The chaos went on for some minutes and the fans brought down a section of the fence at the stadium.
It took police’s intervention to return the normalcy they fired teargas although part of it went to Naguru Hospital. KCCA’s home ground is located in Lugogo, adjacent to Naguru Hospital.
The game then resumed and focused KCCA players scored three more goals to avenge their Arua defeat by slashing Onduparaka and giving them their heaviest defeat in the league.
