“We shall also need some luck as well which I thought we lacked at home his week.”
URA will be looking to break the jinx and finally register their first win against the Ankole Lions in a competitive game but they will require a much-improved display against their opponents.
Mbarara themselves celebrated the draw the moment the referee blew his final whistle but what is clear is the result worked for them but with the away goals rule under operation in this fixture, the failure to score could come back to haunt them.
After the 0-0 draw, a disappointed Ssimbwa told the club’s official website: “Disappointing that we haven’t won the game but all isn’t lost. We will prepare for Friday and try everything in our power to progress to the next round.”

Ahead of the match, the two sides had only met six times and this was to be the seventh and none of the sides had ever won a game, meaning the Tax Collectors were on a quest for just their first win against the Ankole Lions.
Coach Ssimbwa set up with a 4-4-2 attacking formation - Mutyaba Julius starting in the midfield alongside Majwega Brian and Shafik Kagimu on either side of the flanks while Moses Sseruyidde played a bit more forward behind the two strikers.
