Stanbic Uganda Cup
Quarter final result
Kitara 3-0 Express FC
Royals Park- Butema
Kitara FC secured their place in the Stanbic Uganda Cup semifinals with a commanding 3-0 victory over Express FC at Royals Park in Butema. They join Vipers SC and URA FC, who qualified earlier.
The hosts started aggressively, with Kabon Living firing wide early. The breakthrough came in the 26th minute when George Senkaaba pounced on a rebound after Express goalkeeper Kassim Hafizi fumbled Gaddafi Wahab’s free-kick delivery.
Senkaaba doubled the lead in the 54th minute. Captain Jasper Aheebwa found Jimmy Kalema, who released Senkaaba to control the ball well with his chest before slotting it into the top left corner. This brace brought Senkaaba’s Uganda Cup tally to four goals.
Express nearly pulled one back a minute later, but goalkeeper Meddie Kibirige rushed off his line to deny Kenneth Kimera’s chance after Marvin Nyanzi’s through ball.
Substitute Alex Wasswa sealed the win, finishing coolly from close range after Benjamin Nyakoojo flicked on Frank Zaga Tumwesigye’s corner.
Express struggled to respond; Mikidadi Ssenyonga blasted his effort over, while Kimera saw another attempt blocked by Kitara’s solid center back pairing of Samuel Kato and Nyakoojo. Kitara’s defense remains unbreached in the competition.
Kitara awaits their semifinal opponent following this month’s draw. Their focus now shifts to Friday’s Uganda Premier League clash against Vipers SC in Kitende.
