Onduparaka Football Club and URA FC played out a goalless draw in their first game of the 2022/23 Uganda Premier League season.

The Caterpillars showed resilience to play out a goalless draw with the Tax Collectors in the game played at Nakisunga Ssaza Ground on Saturday.

Onduparaka FC played their bodies and souls out to deny URA FC even when they went through on goal.

Sam Timbe handed debuts to Eric Ssenjobe, James Begisa and Derrick Nsibambi.

On the other hand, coach Hussein Keri took charge of his first competitive game with the Arua-based side a game where Mathias Muwanga wore the captain’s armband, succeeding Muhammad Shaban who has since moved to KCCA FC.

The first chance of the game fell to the visitors in the 7th minute but goalkeeper Nafian Alionzi was well positioned to save.

Joachim Ojera was unlucky not to score when his effort bounced off the upright after combining well with Saidi Kyeyune.

Coach Timbe tried to bring on fresh legs in the second stanza with Salim Abdallah and Living Kabon replacing Ssekajugo and Kyeyune respectively.

However, that did not help in breaking Onduparaka’s resolve, the points were eventually shared.
