Kenneth Tumusiime and Charles Odeke scored two second half goals for Masavu Football Club in their 2-1 home victory against Kireka United in a FUFA Big League match played at the Katabi play ground in Entebbe.
Tonny Kiguli’s headed goal had earlier given hope for the visitors to cancel Tumusiime’s opener but second half substitute, Odeke had other ideas all together heading home the winner 14 minutes from full-time.
