Police FC claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory against SC Villa in a StarTimes Uganda Premier League encounter at the Kira Road Police Arena in Kamwokya on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, avenging their earlier 2-1 defeat in the first-leg fixture at Kadiba Stadium.
The decisive goal came early in the 7th minute when Lawrence Tezikya calmly finished after being set up by Ibrahim Abubaker Ssengoba, giving the hosts the lead they would defend resolutely for the remainder of the match.
SC Villa pushed for an equalizer, with Frank Ssebuufu having a first-half effort ruled out for offside by referee Hassan Mubiru.
Later, Police’s Bedia Djuma Ikamba saw a potential second goal disallowed due to a foul in the buildup, as officiated by referee William Oloya.
After the interval, Police FC maintained disciplined defensive organization to secure all three points, marking their return to winning ways after a three-match winless run.
