Gideon Odongo and January window signing Samuel Ssekamatte Kayongo were on the score sheet for Badru Kaddu Mukasa’s coached side.
Odongo gave NEC FC the lead with a sixth-minute powerful header off Hakim Wandera’s inviting corner kick.
Two minutes later, Ssekamatte, who transferred from UPDF during the secondary players’ transfer period, buried home Emmanuel Kulanga’s delivery as the hosts extended their lead.
The second half did not produce any goals for the two sides as NEC, losing finalists in 2023 to Kitara, marched to the last eight stage.
