• Express 1-2 URA

Express FC suffered their first defeat under interim coach Badru Kaddu on Friday against URA FC at Nakivubo Stadium.

The Red Eagles who have recently enjoyed a good run, were edged by the Tax Collectors 2-1 in a closely contested game.

Kaddu who was assistant to Baker Mbowa took on the mantle when the club parted ways with the latter on 26th October 2024.

Since then, Kaddu had superintended over a purple patch of five games that saw them win three and draw the other two.

The wins were quite meaningful to Express FC, defeating Mbarara City FC 3-1 and edging bittter rivals Express FC and KCCA FC with an identical score of 1-0.

The draws came on the road against Wakiso Giants FC and BUL FC.

Today, that run was put to a half with former captain Enock Walusimbi heading home from Moses Aliro’s corner in the 42nd minute.

Five minutes after the break, Ivan Ahimbisibwe doubled the lead for the Tax Collectors to take his goal tally to eight this season.

Despite Sam Ssenyonjo pulling one back for Express FC from the spot at the hour mark, URA FC held on to pick maximum points.

The result takes URA FC to fifth place on 18 points, one behind Express FC who are two positions ahead.
