NEC FC’s struggles on the road continued as they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by a resilient Wakiso Giants FC at the Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium. Despite dominating possession and pressing for a breakthrough, NEC failed to convert their attacking intent into goals, leaving their title ambitions dented. A last-minute set-piece outside the box provided a glimmer of hope, but Wakiso’s disciplined defense stood tall to secure a hard-fought point.
This result marks NEC’s second consecutive failure to collect maximum points away from home, further complicating their chase for league glory. With every dropped point, the pressure mounts, and their inability to break down defensive blocks raises concerns about their attacking efficiency. Their frontline lacked the clinical edge needed to unlock Wakiso’s well-structured backline, with half-chances squandered and final deliveries falling short of precision.
For Wakiso Giants, the draw is a testament to their defensive solidity and tactical discipline. Despite being under sustained pressure, they remained compact and organized, frustrating NEC with their resolute approach. Their ability to grind out results against high-caliber opposition highlights their growing reputation as a formidable side capable of unsettling title contenders.
With this slip-up, NEC FC has handed a significant advantage to Vipers SC, who now have a clearer path in the title race. As the season inches closer to its climax, NEC must find a way to regain their attacking spark and rediscover their winning formula. Any further missteps could prove costly, with Vipers poised to capitalize on their faltering momentum.
