Express and Bright Stars each earned their first point of the 2019 – 2020 Uganda Premier League following a one all draw stalemate at the Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium on Tuesday.
The Red Eagles had a bright start to the game, scoring the opener in the third minute through Frank Ssenyondo.
Ssenyondo was well positioned to capitalize on a poorly handled ball from goalkeeper Nicholas Sebwato off striker Frank Kalanda’s earlier shot.
Debutant Joseph Jjanjali found the equalizer six minutes from the close of the first half as the opening 45 minutes, finishing past goalkeeper Joshua Adea after Methiodius Jungu’s assist.
The rest of the game ended one all despite efforts by either clubs to rally for another goal.
These two clubs use the Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium as their home ground and came to this very game as wounded entities having lost their respective matches.
Bright Stars fell to Vipers 3-1 at the same venue and Express suffered a one – zero loss away to BUL at the FUFA Technical Center on match day one.
Express missed the services of their goalkeeper Tonny Kyamera who suffered a bad injury in their opener and Bright Stars’ Farouk Katongole missed the game because he was sent off against Vipers for a second bookable offence.
The one all draw was the fourth draw for these clubs in the last five encounters.
