Abdallah Mubiru was delighted with his player’s attitude after Police FC demolished Express FC 6-1 in a league game at KCCA stadium, Lugogo.
Pius Kagwa and Derrick Kakooza put the Red Eagles to the sword
The Cops were in a
ruthless mood on the day subjecting the Red Eagles to their worst defeat.
Shockingly, Mubiru wasn’t
happy with the way his team used the ball but praised the attitude of his boys.
“The attitude of the
players was fantastic. They kept on pushing for a goal,” said Mubiru.
We didn’t use the ball as well as we wanted but we had the right attitude to go for goals so scoring was the best thing we did.
“As a coach, I love to see players playing well and scoring goals but still I settle with the fact that we scored six goals and I thank God and my players for the effort.

Police’s Arafat Galiwango was in superb form against Express FC
The 2005 league
champions got the foot off the peddle after the break after a fantastic first
half and the gaffer attributes that to a forced change as midfielder Sylvester
Ssemakula replaced injured right back Tonny Kiwalaze.
“We managed ourselves
better in the first half but we got a little mixed up in the second half but it
was understandable because we transformed a central midfielder into a full back
and his movements were not that good.”
The win saw Police
continue their surge to move out of the drop zone after spending the entire
first half of the league in red.
Ben Ocen scored his 11th goal of the season
“It’s a big win for
us because by the time we finished the first round, most teams were ahead of us
by many points but we are now closing in and it requires us to work harder and
of course pray that God blesses us because the situation we are in is in tough.
It’s not easy playing games while in relegation zone.”
Police have not lost
a game in the last five winning four and drawing the other and are now in 11th
position on the 16-team table with 18 points.
