• Teso Province 1-1 Acholi Province

Teso Province and Acholi Province shared spoils in a one-all draw in the 2023 FUFA Drum on Saturday evening.

The game pulled huge crowds and the party was staged accompanied by drums and dances from both camps.

In the 18th minute, roving full-back James Begisa found himself in the best of positions to tap home from close range thus placing Iteso ahead.

Dominic Ayella levelled matters with a low powerful effort capitalising from a loose ball by Iteso’s goalkeeper who punched away Tito Okello’s shot earlier.

Isaac Ogwang’s freekick got deflected by the wall before it kissed the frame and Teso was awarded a corner kick.

Later on, Acholi’s custodian Detrick Ochan was brought to action punching away Ben Ocen’s teasing corner kick before he was fouled.

As the first stanza was coming to an end Acholi nearly took the lead through Okello’s long-range oozing shot but it went wide by an inch.

The crowds got busier in the second stanza as they rallied behind their troops.

Ibrahim Orit tried to square the ball in search of Nathan Oloro but the defender made a timely interception to calm the storm.

In the 76th minute, Okello beat his marker to pace before he released a low hard effort but it was blocked by Teso’s defender.

Acholi had a mix-up in their defence before the ball fell to Ivan Eyamu’s foot but the second half’s effort was far from required.

In the final minute of the game, Okello nearly stole the victory at death but he mistimed the ball hence getting injured.
