Stanbic Uganda Cup: Round of 32
Results:
Kitara FC 2-0 Entebbe UPPC
Royals Park – Butema
Kitara progressed to the round of 16 of the Stanbic Uganda Cup following their 2-0 triumph over fellow league opponents Entebbe UPPC this evening at the Royals Park stadium in Butema
The match began cautiously, with both sides probing for an opening. The deadlock was broken in the 32nd minute when winger Chrispus Asiki delivered a dangerous cross into the final third. The ball eluded the Entebbe UPPC defense and found George Senkaaba, who made no mistake, burying it into the back of the net to give Kitara a halftime lead.
Entebbe UPPC sought an equalizer early in the second half, but Kitara center-backs Benjamin Nyakoojo and Kato Samuel managed to contain all threats posed by Ambrose Kigozi and Julius Poloto.
Senkaaba turned provider in the 80th minute; his effort at the edge of the box was smashed in the top corner by substitute midfielder Alex Emmanuel Wasswa, doubling Kitara’s advantage and securing a spot in the next round.
This marked Kitara’s third consecutive win over Entebbe UPPC in the Stanbic Uganda Cup. The Royals first defeated them 2-0 in 2024 at Masindi Stadium before winning 1-2 in 2025 at Works Stadium, Entebbe.
The Wasswa Bbosa coached side becomes the second team to reach the last 16, following KCCA’s elimination of Mbarara City earlier on Sunday.
Kitara are 2024 Stanbic Uganda Cup champions when they overcame NEC FC 1-0 at the Wankulukuku stadium.
Entebbe UPPC will return to Royals Park Stadium next week to face Kitara again in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, in an expected exciting fixture.
