UPL match results:
Kitara FC 6-0 Mbale Heroes FC
Royals Park – Butema
Fred Amaku, Jude Ssemugabi, George Senkaaba and Marvin Nyanzi inspired Kitara to a 6-0 thrashing of Mbale Heroes as Wasswa Bbosa’s side moved out of the drop zone in the Uganda Premier League.
Amaku opened the score in the 27th minute after coolly converting from the spot before Senkaaba added the second from a defensive blunder when the keeper spilled a Kabon Living shot.
Ssemugabi who replaced Senkaaba after halftime made sure his first touch got into the net in the 46th minute with a stunning long-range effort.
Amaku poked home his second from a Ssemugabi assist before the hour mark and was later replaced by Patrick Kaddu.
Mbale Heroes keeper Paul Mwajampuni poorly cleared the ball and was made to pay for his blunder by Marvin Nyanzi who smartly chipped it into the net for the hosts’ fifth goal.
Ssemugabi completed his brace sliding in Kaddu’s low pass and made sure Kitara win their second straight home game.
The result elevated Wasswa Bbossa’s side from the relegation zone and sit two points above Mbale Heroes on the log.
Kitara’s next fixture is a visit to Maroons FC away in Luzira next Thursday.
