She Corporate started their FUFA Women Super League title defence with a one-all draw against Makerere University (She Mak).
The league newcomers commonly known as She Mak came from a goal down to pick a vital point at a soggy Makerere Main Ground.
Spencer Nakachwa fired She Corporate into the lead at the stroke of halftime but they were pegged back when Daphine Nalubowa levelled matters after restart when she pounced on a loose ball that she lobbed over goalkeeper Fatuma Matovu who was off her line.
She Mak had a chance to earn maximum points but goalkeeper Matovu saved Sharon Namatovu’s penalty that resulted from defender Stella Musibika handling the ball in the forbidden area.
At the other end, Phionah Nabumba saw her shot rattle the crossbar and at the end, nothing could separate the two sides as they shared spoils.
Matchday One continues on Sunday as Kampala Queens host Asubo Gafford Ladies in Kabojja, Rines SS and Lady Doves are away to Uganda Martyrs High School and Olila High School respectively.
