StarTimes Uganda Premier League
Result: BUL 1-1 Kitara
Njeru
Kitara FC shared the points with BUL FC in a tightly contested 1-1 draw on Monday evening at the FUFA Technical Center in Njeru.
The hosts started brightly and took an early lead in the 10th minute when Karim Ndugwa headed home. Kitara responded with pressure and thought they had equalised soon after, but BUL goalkeeper Farouk Yawe produced a superb double save to keep his side ahead.
The Royals’ persistence paid off in the 37th minute. Kabon Living found the net to level the score, ensuring the teams went into the break on equal terms.
The second half saw chances at both ends. Isaac Wagoina missed an opportunity to put BUL back in front, while at the other end, Meddie Kibirige stood firm to deny BUL’s Achidi in a one on one situation. Yawe was called into action again late on, making a brilliant stop to deny Patrick Kaddu a tenth goal of the season.
The draw marks Kitara’s seventh of the campaign. The team has now recorded 16 wins, 6 losses, and 7 draws from 29 matches, temporarily moving up to third place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League table.
Attention now turns to the final league fixture of the season. Coach Wasswa Bbosa and his squad will host Police FC this Saturday at the Royals Park in Butema.
