Express Football Club sealed the fourth slot in the 2021 Stanbic Uganda Cup tournament semifinals.

The Red Eagles rallied to equalize against rivals KCCA as they played to a one-all draw at the MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo on Friday, 4th June 2021.

Following a goalless opening 40 minutes, the game came to life in the 41st minute when KCCA forward Sadat Anaku gave the home side the lead with an explicit beautiful curl from about 25 yards into the roof of the net.

With the game destined in KCCA’s favour, team captain and goalkeeper Charles Lukwago did the unthinkable; planking his hand in the face of Charles Musiige.

Referee Ali Kaddu did not hesitate but point to the spot amidst protests from KCCA players.

Martin Kizza beat Lukwago from the resultant kick and level the game with 8 minutes left on the clock.

Express held on despite KCCA’s late pressure to progress to the semifinals on the away goal’s rule.

The first leg at the Betway Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium had ended goalless.
