Kitara football club forward Jude Ssemugabi is happy after opening his goal account for the Royals, scoring in their 1-3 StarTimes Uganda Premier league victory over Wakiso Giants last Friday at the Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium and is motivated to work harder going forward.
Ssemugabi had come off the bench in 3 of the five games except the 1-2 away win over Gaddafi where he was named in the starting lineup but still found it hard to score despite generating and getting a couple of chances.
He scored Kitara’s third goal as they came from a goal down to dispatch the Purple Sharks 1-3, which was the club’s fifth straight win of the season sending them on top of the table dislodging BUL football club to second place.
The Kiboga Young graduate, relieved after grabbing his first goal of the season, sets his eyes on hard work and consistency.
“It has been tough because playing 4 games as a forward without scoring nor creating is not good enough. However, I kept pushing myself and believing that my breakthrough would eventually come and it found me in the perfect place and I took it. I want to score more and hope for a better performance in the coming games,” Ssemugabi revealed.
The soft spoken forward further admits to pressure but hopes to carry on from the Royals’ outing.
” You always feel the pressure to do your best as a player on the pitch and scoring my first goal is a good motivation because I feel more hunger and desire and hopefully can maintain the positive energy to push my team further,” he added.
Kitara host Maroons football club on Wednesday at the Masindi stadium and the former Mbarara City skipper n will hope to inspire the his side to their sixth win.
