Express FC bounced back in impressive fashion last night in the Bell Uganda Super League beating surprise leaders Masaka LC 2-1 at Mandela Stadium.
Edgar Luzige, put the Red Eagles in-front in 37 minute in a game that was fast paced game on a very soggy pitch after a heavy down pour that caused the delay of the kick-off. But Masaka LC, that is coached by former Express FC player Kefa Kisala relently attacked their hosts and equalised in the 55th minute to level matters. The two sides had several glaring chances that swung the game so open in pulsating fashion, but Express left it late with Julius Ogwang nailing the winner in the 90th minute. The win pushed Express to fifth on the log with 11 points out of seven games while Masaka LC dropped to second position with 16 points and have the same points with table leaders URA though they have played more games that is nine.
KCC overcame its off the pitch problems by mauling Fire Masters 4-0 in a one-sided affair. The Yellow lads opened their account courtesy of an own goal by Fire Masters skipper Livingstone Kawuma, put the ball into his own net in the seventh minute. Fifteen minute’s later KCC’s captain Richard Malinga, scored from a free-kick to increase the lead with Ceasar Sapeo and Rogers Modest Aloro from penalty scoring in the 20th and 89th minute.
