Arua Hill SC 2-1 Onduparaka FC – Mpande Strikes Twice to Deny Caterpillars First Win
Sunday – Arua Hill SC came from behind to stun Onduparaka FC 2-1 at Barifa stadium.
The visitors took the lead in the 16th minute through forward Muwonge who nodded in Yakin’s deflected header.
The hosts leveled the scores in the 54th minute through Reagan Mpande who found the net with a beautiful header.
The substitute who came in for Ivan Eyamu later doubled the Barifa side’s lead in the 63rd minute after a sloppy defending by the visitors.
First-half:
A game that saw less than the required number of fans indeed, did not produce the derby kind of atmosphere
The hosts had the first attempt at goal. Skipper Toha Rashid failed to direct Gadafi Wahab’s far end corner into the back of the net.
The Caterpillars took the lead after 16 minutes through forward…..who nodded in skipper Yakin’s deflected header.
The visitors almost made it two shortly as Jarieko’s shot went wide.
Arua Hill came close to leveling the scores after half-hour mark after the Caterpillars defense went to sleep and Abraham unleashed a powerful shot at close range only to be saved by Mathias Muwanga.
Shortly, Gadafi Wahab’s likely screamer could only go above the post.
Arua Hill’s next league match is an away fixture at Wankulukuku Stadium against Express FC on Friday 2 November.
Meanwhile, Onduparaka will welcome rejuvenated KCCA FC at Bombo Military Barracks Grounds on the same day.
Second Half:
The hosts returned rejuvenated for the final 45 minutes and deservedly leveled matters in the 67th minute.
Bright Vuni was involved in a nasty collision with Onduparaka forward Muwonge shortly after scores were leveled.
The last chance of the match fell to Ojera who could only find the side net.
