Uganda Cup: Semi Final
2nd Leg
Pajule Lions vs Kitara FC
3pm
Pajule Pri. Sch ground
A place in Stanbic Uganda cup final is up for grabs as the Royals face off with Pajule Lions FC on Sunday, May 5 at Pajule Primary school grounds.
The semi final return leg is set to be an interesting clash as both teams are looking to reach the Uganda Cup finals for the first time in their respective histories.
Kitara won 3-1 in the first leg at Masindi last month with Okwalinga Solomon, Denis Omedi and Frank Tumwesigye scoring.
Martin Wokorach pulled one back for Pajule Lions to give them hope going into the second leg and they will be looking forward to turn the tables on their opponents when they meet on Sunday evening at Pajule primary school grounds.
Brian Ssenyondo’s quotes
” We are playing Pajule Lions in the return leg after winning the first at home 3-1, we wanted a bigger margin but the team reached this stage not by chance they fought to be here and looking at how they play, they have character and throw their bodies out there.”
” I think we did the biggest part in the first round and we are coming into this game to see that we can maintain what we did and advance to the finals.”
The winner on aggregate will face NEC FC in the final that is expected to be played on May 25 at a yet to be confirmed venue.
Team news:
George Senkaaba, Ibrahim Magandaazi and Jude Ssemugabi are ruled out of this game through injury.
Donato Okello missed the first leg against Pajule Lions in Masindi through suspension but is available to play.
