Express fc 0-1 Sc villa.
It was blue or red day at Muteesa II Stadium as the Joogo team perished the host in a 0-1 win startimes Uganda premier league Friday game.
Pressure on both coaches mounting high as the two team’s fans came in numbers to witness this year’s first Kampala derby result.
Express fc wanted to grab an early goal to settle matters their way but Villa defence remained composed and cleared safely away from danger zone.
Later on, sc. Villa through Bashir Mutanda moved close to tap it into a home net but saw it move it’s way just in a delay of micro seconds.
Villa’s Derrick Ndahiro always swung in crosses but very high and beyond his strikers.
Second half substitute Charles Lwanga too due to slight delay bothered less to earn the blues a golden goal to atleast be sure of the positive result.
It was sent to recess in barren situation by referee Ali Sabira after 45′ off the clock.
The two teams came back with right preps made as each side moved strength to strength to burry the game early in the first minutes of the second half but to agony.
Ambrose Kirya moved close but fired it wild and wide a chance which would have been a goal for the joogos.
The same applied to Lwanga who missed chance in chance out even with easy tap ins all saved by Kyamera Tony.
On the counter attack, Yayo Lutimba released Ndahiro who slowed it down for support again by Yayo, a through ball to tinny Ndahiro who looked on and swung in a well crafted cross to assistant captain Ambrose Kirya who rose high and headed it into the net, 0-1 for the visitors which made villa fans to run wild.
Express players gezzed dead and buried as they aimlessly played but all pocketed by villa back line led by Asuman Alishey.
Villa fans tuned in the “weraba” tune provoking coach Ssemwogerere who remained calm the whole evening.
“It’s a good run of wins and it came because we train as a team and respect what our coaches direct us to do, “said Asuman Alishey.
