Express FC 1-3 Simba SC
Patrick Gonahasa hit the 2015/16 Uganda Premier League’s maiden hat trick as Simba SC stunned Express FC with a 3-1 defeat at Wankulukuku on Tuesday.
The striker got on the score sheet early into the first half after poor defending by the hosts but moments later, returning Ceaser Okhuti made it 1-1 with a brilliant brush off Okello’s cross for his seventh goal of the season.
Towards the end of half time, Gonahasa restored Simba’s lead to ensure the game ended 2-1 in the visitors’ favour.
After the break, the hosts pressed for an equaliser with Emmanuel Kalyowa, Tony Odur and Eric Ssebuguzi Bucha coming close but it was Gonahasa who netted again to put the game beyond the Red Eagles’ reach.
The loss; Express’ second in succession drops them to seventh on the 16 team log with 17 points.
Simba maintains their 14th position on the log but move to eleven points just two adrift of SC Victoria University.
