Okello Scores Winner as Young Africans Defeat KMC

Ugandan star Allan Okello scored the decisive goal as Young Africans secured a 1-0 victory over KMC in the NBC Premier League.

In the match played on Wednesday, Okello netted the only goal to hand Young Africans a narrow win over the bottom-placed side away from home.

He capitalised on an assist from Shekhan Khamis in the 66th minute, a strike that ultimately proved to be the match-winner.

Okello was later substituted in the 90+1 minute, with Salum Abubakar coming on in his place.

The goal means Okello has now scored twice and registered seven assists in his last eight games for Young Africans in all competitions.

The victory takes Young Africans to 51 points from 21 matches, maintaining their position at the top of the table.

In their next league fixture, Young Africans will host Coastal Union on May 9.
