Kitara FC faces Express FC this Easter Sunday afternoon with a coveted semi final place in the Stanbic Uganda Cup on the line.
For Wasswa Bbosa’s side, anything less than victory against Express will dash their hopes of securing a second Cup title, having first lifted the trophy in 2024. Kitara has looked formidable in the competition so far, boasting a perfect defensive record with no goals conceded while netting nine themselves. However, this impressive run faces its toughest test yet against an unpredictable and equally impressive Express side.
“We are happy to reach this stage. Hosting Express on Sunday is an opportunity we intend to seize fully. The team is very set and ready to deliver for our fans,” declared Kitara midfielder Alex Emmanuel Wasswa.
This encounter reignites a Cup rivalry. The sides last met in the competition during the 2018 round of 32 at Hoima’s Boma playground. On that occasion, Alfred Leku put Express ahead before Derrick Tekkwo levelled, forcing penalties. Kitara ultimately prevailed 4-3 in the shootout, eliminating the record Cup winners.
Should the teams remain deadlocked after 90 minutes on Sunday, extra time will follow. If the stalemate remains, a penalty shootout will decide who progresses to the semi finals.
Team news:
There are no fresh injury concerns for Wasswa Bbosa as he has a fully fit squad to select from his match day troops.
