Nkumba University and the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) played out a goalless draw in the University Football League on Wednesday at Entebbe.
Nkumba started on the front foot, with Emmanuel Shikanga delivering a great cross, but the forwards failed to connect with the ball.
IUIU’s Faisal Mumali had a chance in the 22nd minute, but his strike lacked the power to beat Nkumba goalkeeper John Andrew Obwana.
The hosts created their first real opportunity in the 28th minute when Josha Kamori nodded wide from Ismael Lubega’s delivery.
Despite Nkumba gaining momentum, the first half ended goalless, setting the stage for an intense second half.
In the 58th minute, Marvin Kagimu connected with Lubega’s corner, but his effort sailed wide of the target.
Lubega’s free kicks posed problems for IUIU, but goalkeeper Shadat Musasaizi was equal to the challenge, keeping his side in the game.
The hard-fought draw secured IUIU a crucial point, confirming their place in the quarter-finals of the ongoing tournament.
