Isaac Muleme’s extra time penalty condemned former servants, Sports Club Victoria University out of the 2014/15 Uganda Cup as Sports Club Villa defeated the home side 0-1 in a quarter final duel played at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Sunday.
After a barren opening regulation time, the game was pushed to extra time since both teams had failed to find the back of the net with a series of missed opportunities.
SCVU team skipper, Martin Mpuuga was adjudged to have handled the ball in the forbidden area and day’s referee never hesitated to point to the spot inside the last 30 extra added minutes of play.
The penalty decision was bitterly protested by the home team players and one player, Farouk Kawooya was sent off for ‘unsporting conduct’ in the process.
