Makerere University scored late to share spoils with Busitema University in a one-all draw during the ongoing AUUS Games 2023 at the ongoing AUUS Games in Mukono on Monday evening.
It was a game full of drama and emotions from either side were stretched to the furthest while the neutrals enjoyed an end-to-end entertaining show.
Makerere came into the game as the favourites having beaten the hosts UCU 2-0 in the opening game.
However, Busitema put up a great challenge that shocked Makerere but also pulled the local crowd onto their side.
Midway through the first half, Joseph Odunya broke the deadlock with a fine finish that was greatly protested by Makerere’s players and officials.
Amidst the protest, Makerere head coach Douglas Bamweyana was shown a red card that ordered him to walk off the field.
However, Makerere returned in the second half so motivated and energised as they searched for a leveller.
Isaac Byaruhanga nodded home in added time to ensure that Makerere at least picked a point from the tough duel. The golden point sent Makerere to the top of Group A with four points gathered in two games.
In the last group of the game, Makerere will lock horns with wounded Nkumba University in a tricky duel. A draw will mean Makerere is through to the quarterfinals while Nkumba will be out to search for maximum points.
