A goal which gave the host a lead was scored by Ofoywroth Isaac in the 12 minute and it was the only goal of the game despite efforts from both sides.
Goal scorer Ofoyrwoth was shown red in the 58 leaving UCU to work hard to defend their lead as Uganda Martyrs Kasozi Kennedy was also shown red in the 87.
The match ended 1-0 setting up what will surely be an exciting return leg next week 27th October in Nkozi.
Speaking to journalists shortly after the match ended, Collines Ahumuza, the head coach of UCU said that she’s optimistic that her team will take the trophy home again.
Meanwhile, Makerere University Business School (MUBS) has made a stride to return to the league following their successful petition over the Kyambogo University’s use of an impersonator during their quarter-final second leg win at Nakawa. This mean that the Banda based campus has been disqualified from the league.
Pepsi University Football League semi-finals continues on Tuesday 25th October 2022 when St. Lawrence University (SLAU) will host MUBS at the main campus playground in Kavuule, Kampala.
