Three minutes later, the Tax Collectors almost took the lead after a well-delivered corner fell at Mukwala s feet, but his one-time shot fizzled over the bar and in the 11th minute Ojera Joackiam put the ball in the net for the home team, but the effort was ruled out for offside.
However, they finally broke the deadlock in the 35th minute as Mukwala set up Kagimu, who rounded the entire URA defence to slot home and it was 2-0 up five minutes later as Mukwala, who was returning from a long injury lay-off, volleyed home from the tightest of angles to double the lead.
And now that we are out of the Uganda Cup, we have all our eyes on the league.
URA are top of the table with 47 points. They have played 21 matches; the Sam Ssimbwa-led charges have managed 14 wins, five draws, and two losses, scoring 32 goals in the process and conceding 13.
On Friday, they will be playing the inconsistent Onduparaka. The Arua-based charges are 12th on the table with 24 points. They have managed to get seven wins, three draws, and 11 losses.
Meanwhile, Express goalkeeper Denis Otim has stated they are ready to be paired with any team in the Uganda Cup after sealing their place in the quarter-finals on Tuesday at the expense of URA.
“We have managed a 2-1 win today [Saturday] but it doesn’t mean this is all over,” Bbosa told the club’s official website after the game.
“We have a return leg, we have a few days but we are going back to correct our mistakes, generally the boys concentrated and earned the win.”
On his part, captain Enock Walusimbi echoed coach Bbosa’s sentiments by stating the job is not done yet despite the 2-1 win.
“We have managed to win because we concentrated, the early goal destabilised us a bit but the boys showed a lot of mental strength but the job is not done yet,” Walusimbi told the same portal.
