• Gaddafi 0-2 Busoga United

A ten man Busoga United had the last and final smile over newly promoted Gaddafi with a 2-0 win in the first of Jinja derbies at the Gaddafi Arena on Monday, October 18, 2021.

Teenage midfielder Elvis Ngonde and forward Anwar Ntege were on target with two second half strikes in a space of two minutes.

Ngonde, a student at St Mary’s Boarding School Kitende opened the scoring in the 52^nd minute with a simple tap-in after Anwar Ntege’s donkey-work.

Ntege rounded up goalkeeper Paul Mujampwani before laying the ball for Ngonde to finish into an empty net.

Ntege, a former Ndejje University, URA and BUL forward then finished at the near post of Mujampwani after another well laid ball from the right by the industrious Shaka Ssozi.

Ngonde turned villain with a red card by referee George Olemu with four minutes to play and Gaddafi attained numerical advantage for the time being.

Busoga United’s Ntege was named the pilsner man of the match, earning a plaque and cash, Shs. 100,000.

Busoga United, a side coached by Abbey Bogere Kikomeko held onto the lead to grab maximum points that puts them level as other clubs that won on match day one; Vipers, Arua Hill, KCCA and Mbarara City.
