Young Elephants pulled off a stunning comeback as they held Police to a 3-3 stalemate in the FUFA Big League at Anaka Primary School ground, Nwoya on Sunday.

At one moment in the game, Police led 3-1 and it all looked like the Cops had sealed the game but the hosts had a different thought as they fought till the last minute.

Young Elephants took an early lead in the ninth minute before Steven Kabuye levelled matters in the 17th minute.

Three minutes later, Raymond Onyai found the back of the net as he put the visitors ahead.

In the 23rd minute, the home crowd was unruly as they protested shortly after their equaliser was cancelled.

Two minutes into the second half Brian Obedi extended Police’s lead adding salt in the host’s wounds.

In the 54th minute, the hosts scored the second goal on the day as the home crowd rallied behind their boys.

With five minutes to play, the host found the priceless equaliser as the two sides walked away with a point each.

Police is still on top of the log with 37 points while Young Elephants are placed 14th with 11 points.

FUFA Big League side Police Football Club has beefed up their squad with experienced goalkeeper Ashadu Bugembe.

Bugembe joins the FUFA Big League log leaders on a short-term contract that keeps him at the club till the end of the campaign.

He becomes the club’s second signing after Francis Onekalit who joined from Ndejje University.

The custodian’s signing was made public via the club’s social handles where they welcomed Bugembe to the Cops’ family.

“We are thrilled to announce the capturing of goalie Bugembe Ashadu who signs with us a contract of six months until the end of the season,” the post reads.

Bugembe replaces Davis Mutebi who walked through the back door of the club. Bugembe and Edgar Tukahirwa are expected to deputise Edward Kasibante in the goalkeeping department.

Bugembe has previously played for clubs like Masaka LC, Kira Young, SC Villa, BUL FC and Maroons FC.

Police will be in action on Thursday, February 15 as they take on Busei FC at the Round of 32 of the Uganda Cup.

Police FC head coach Simon Peter Mugerwa revealed that poor defending of set pieces has cost them a lot and this time around denied them victory against Kigezi HomeBoyz.

Police FC shared spoils in a 1-1 draw against Kigezi HomeBoyz in the FUFA Big League at Kabale Municipal Stadium on Thursday evening.

“We had the lead but we defended poorly the set piece and got punished,” Mugerwa told the club’s media.

“Poor set pieces’ defending has greatly affected us throughout the campaign but we shall take the point away from home,” he added.

Duncan Sseninde was at the end of a well-constructed goal to give Police FC a lead in the 47th minute before the hosts levelled through Joseph Sseremba eight minutes later.

“We have to go back and regroup and see how we finish the two games left in the first round. We are going to make corrections, the display was not the best and we can always make it better.

After picking a point, Police are still on the Fufa Big League summit with 27 points while Kigezi HomeBoyz are ninth on the table with 12 points after playing 12 games.

Police will return to action on Friday, December 22 as they host Kataka FC at Kavumba Recreational Grounds.

Police Football Club edged Blacks Power 3-2 in a FUFA Big League clash played at Kavumba Recreational Ground, Wakiso on Wednesday.

Isaac Ogwang was the hero as Police equalised late and also managed to snatch the win against Blacks Power in the dying minutes.

It was such an entertaining game and close contest where the winner of the five-goal thriller was confirmed in stoppage time.

Daniel Otim placed the visitors in the lead after converting from the 12-yard mark in the eighth minute.

Daniel Jakony restored parity for Police after nodding home from close range at the stroke of halftime.

Paul Musamali’s powerful header restored Blacks Power’s lead in the 73rd minute putting the table leaders in a very hard place.

Herman Wasswa was tripped in the dangerous area and Police were awarded a penalty with five minutes to play. Ogwang stepped up and made no mistake from the penalty spot to bring the game to level once again.

Ogwang took matters into his hands as he scored a belter from long range beating Blacks Power’s goalkeeper who had moved off the goalline and it was maximum points for the hosts.

The victory cements Police’s top position on the log with 22 points from 19 games while Blacks Power are in the second position with 17 points.

Lugazi FC and Kyetume FC played to a one-all draw in the Uganda Big League clash at Lugazi Stadium on Monday evening.

It was a physical encounter and the 1-1 scoreline explains perfectly how close it was without either side taking full control of the game.

Experienced defender Savio Kabugo returned to the starting eleven after missing the clash where the Leaders played Kiyinda Boys in Mityana.

An own goal by Lugazi gave Kyetume the lead in the 20th minute thanks to the visitors’ forward line that hardly gave room to the hosts to rest.

Five minutes later, Ronald Ssempala set up Sam Ssemugugu through a cut back but the latter’s final effort hit the side net.

Sempala restored parity in the 55th minute after calmly converting from the 12-yard mark.

The hosts kept committing bodies upfront in search of the second but Kyrletume hardly gave them room to do so.

And at full-time the two sides shared points in a close contest. 

A point takes Lugazi to 15 points in the third position on the log while Kyetume has a point less in the fourth position.

Police FC registered a 2-0 victory against Karo Karungi in the FUFA Big League on Monday at Kavumba Recreation Centre, Wakiso.

The result hardly depicted what happened in the game since it was a very close encounter but the Cops walked away with it.

Isaac Ogwang and Herman Wasswa were on target as the Cops registered the fourth victory of the campaign.

Police had a great start to the game as Gadaffi Kacancu pulled the string in the middle park to dictate the pace of the play.

The quick on-set paid off as the hosts got the lead early in the eighth minute, Ogwang was set up by Samuel Kayongo before he looped the ball past Karo Karungi’s goalkeeper Yunus Dafala.

Karo Karungi came close to levelling matters in the 30th minute but Police’s custodian Edward Kasibante made a stunning save to deny Fredrick Muyindi.

With three minutes to end the first stanza, Oscar Nyanga witnessed his deflected effort kiss off the frame before it later bounced off the goal line.

Five minutes into the second half, the Cops had a chance to double the lead but Ogwang’s effort from the close range went above the frame.

The visitors came close once again four minutes past the hour mark, Nyanga went past his marker remaining with a goalkeeper to beat but failed to guide the ball into the net.

Pacy forward Muhammed Nsereko gave Police’s backline a hard day but his final ball was far from required.

 Wasswa replaced Ogwang in the 82nd minute to introduce new and fresh legs upfront.

In added time, Wasswa calmly controlled a defence-splitting pass from Kayongo before he curled the ball home.

The victory takes Police FC to 13 points in five games while Karo Karungi are seventh with seven points gathered in five games played thus far.

FUFA Big League | Sunday, October 8, 2023

Onduparaka Football Club and Lugazi Football Club registered slim victories in the FUFA Big League over the weekend.

Onduparaka registered a 1-0 victory against Kataka Football Club at Green Light Stadium in Arua.

After a false start in the loss against Blacks Power, The Caterpillars have gone on to register two consecutive victories.

Dominic Abonga’s lonely strike was the difference between the two sides in the tightly contested game.

After a goalless first stanza, substitute Abonga’s 56th-minute strike gave the caterpillars maximum points.

Malish Mandela found the chance of the hosts to take the lead, he created space at the edge of the box but his shot lacked the bend going wide of the left goalpost.

Later on, Ceasear came close twice but lady luck was not on his side as both strikes went wide.

The victory takes Onduparaka to six points in three games while Kataka has four points.

Next, Kataka hosts Kiyinda Boys on Thursday, October 12 while Onduparaka will return to action by visiting Kiyinda Boys on Sunday, October 22.

In the sixth minute, Sam Semugugu set the game ablaze with a great finish to give the home side the lead.

Ndejje University was eager to restore parity but ended up being so anxious only to witness their strikes often finding the sky.

Six minutes past the hour mark, Ssemugugu scored his second of the day guiding home a loose ball in the area after Ndejje University goalkeeper Paul Akweny fumbled with the ball.

In the 90th minute, Mwanje added salt to Ndejje’s wounds with an easy tap in at the far post capitalizing on Mubarak Mitala’s delivery.
