Express 1-0 SC Villa

Express secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against SC Villa in the Uganda Premier League encounter at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo.

Joseph Zziwa's late strike was enough to give the Red Eagles maximum points on the day.

SC Villa had a great start to the game, creating chances through Hakim Kiwanuka and Patrick Kakande, but no one would capitalize on the effort.

The visitors' best chance fell to Charles Lwanga, who beat several bodies before planting the glorious effort inches wide of the target.

However, Express dominated the second stanza, pressing high and pegging the visitors on the back foot.

Richard Basangwa and Rashid Kawawa were a constant threat to Villa's backline with their pace and energy.

Zziwa finally broke the deadlock in the 80th minute after firing home a loose ball into the net. Villa failed to deal with Saidi Kyeyune's delivery and they were punished.

The victory takes Express to the fourth position with 12 points, while SC Villa lies seventh with 11 points.
