Wakiso Giants maintained their unbeaten run in the Elgon group of the FUFA Big League with a hard fought 2-1 away victory over former Uganda Premier League side, Entebbe Football Club at the Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium on Thursday.
Entebbe took the lead through a well drilled header by towering midfielder Solomon Wafula as early as the 13th minute of the game.
Wafula rose highest to nod home Brunno Sserunkuma’s inviting corner past former Lweza and Masavu goalkeeper Mansoor Mutumba.
Wakiso Giants found the equalizing goal in a rare shocking albeit fashionable manner.
Abdul Karim Kasule, situated over 35 yards away from goal curled home a cross from the right wing past stranded goalkeeper Noel Bayiga for the equalizer well celebrated with four minutes to the end of the opening 45 minutes.
At the on-start of the second half, Wakiso Giants found the second when Geofrey Luutu calmly finished into the net within the goal area.
This was yet another win for Ibrahim Kirya’s Wakiso Giants as they remain unbeaten in 10 matches and consolidate top spot with 19 points.
