• URA FC 2-2 Kitara

URA FC shared spoils with Kitara in a two-all draw in the Uganda Premier League at Metha Stadium in Lugazi on Friday.

It was David Obua’s first game in charge of the Tax Collectors and his troops gave away the victory in the last minutes of the game.

The game’s possession kept swinging like a pendulum bob as either side’s backline was kept in check to keep the goal safe from danger.

Living Kabon gave Kitara the lead in the 31^st minute. The midfielder’s flying volley off Hudu Mulikyi’s clearance just on the line of the box found the corner of the net.

Two minutes later, Denis Omedi nearly doubled the lead with a low hard sort but URA FC goalkeeper Denis Otim was equal to the challenge palming the ball away.

URA FC wasted a clear goal-scoring opportunity after Chrispus Kusiima spread his limbs to deny Enock Walusimbi who was set up through Vianne Ssekajugo’s well-weighted cut back.

Kabon was denied by the woodwork after beating URA’s backline and even when the ball returned into play for a rebound, the forward nodded wide.

With two minutes to conclude the first half, Najib Fesali jumped highest beyond his mark to nod home Joshua Lubwama’s corner kick.

Ivan Ahimbisibwe doubled the hosts' lead with a minute into the second half to eventually place the home side in the driving seat.

Sharif Kimbowa and Joseph Ssemujju wasted a number of chances denying URA to kill off the tight game and send Kitara to bed.

In the last minute of the game, Brian Aheebwa scored to help his side pick a point out of the game.

The point takes URA FC's tally to 10 while Kitara are on 16 points after seven games played.
