Buddu Ssaza Football Club overcame Busujju 3-1 to register their second victory during the on-going Masaza Cup 2021 tournament at FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru on Saturday, December 4, 2021.
Sharif “Diao” Ssengendo scored a brace and sharp shooter Bruno Bunyaga added the other for the 2016 Masaza Cup winners.
Ivan Kaweesi netted a penalty for the consolation of Busujju who have now lost two matches (the other defeat came against Buwekula, 5-1).
After a shoody opening quarter of the game, Buddu eventually came to life when Ssengendo parried home a fluffed ball from goalkeeper Benon Bukenya after an initial shot by Bunyaga on 16 minutes.
Busujju got the equalizer in the 27th minute from Kaweesi followed a foul on Arafat Mawanda by Edward Namasa.
Bunyaga made it two in the 37th minute with a powerful header before Ssengendo’s free-kick was pushed to the woodwork on the stroke of half time.
Ssengendo completed his brace with a sublime finish on the hour mark as Buddu further stamped authority onto the game.
This was Buddu’s second win in Muganzirwaza group after a 5-1 comprehensive win over Butambala in the opener.
Buddu also played to a 2-all draw with Buwekula on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Buwekula maintained the summit spot with a 2-1 win over Buwekula.
