Wakiso Giants 2 -1 URA FC
URA FC suffered a humbling loss to Wakiso Giants in the other game of the day as the tax collectors failed to defeat the ‘Purple Sharks,’ who they humiliated 5-0 in their last encounter prior to today’s game.
The tax collectors started brightly forcing the home-side to take an early back-drop deep into their defence. Wakiso Giants started creating a few chances after half an hour mark but with no major breakthrough.
Towards the end of half-time, Norman Ogik replaced injured Ssebuufu and the forward sent the wakiso-based side to a perfect break after scoring with his first touch on the ball.
Sam Timbe’s troops returned more energized for the final 45 minutes with a more fast and aggressive approach. Their persistence finally paid off in the 58th minute after James Begisa leveled matters, his second in a successive game.
The hosts regained their lead six minutes past the half hour mark. Moses Aliro managed to get at the end of Ogik’s pass sending the home fans to a wild celebration.
