Friday, April 24
•UPDF FC 0-0 URA FC
•Express 0-2 BUL FC
•NEC FC 1-0 Mbarara City
Express FC midfielder Blanchar Mulamba was rushed to hospital after a collision during their Uganda Premier League match against BUL FC on Friday at Nakivubo Stadium.
Mulamba suffered a concussion after colliding with BUL FC player Hillary Onek in the 37th minute.
The incident left both players on the ground requiring medical attention, but Mulamba had to be whisked away immediately after his condition failed to improve.
It is the second consecutive Express FC match at Nakivubo involving a player needing further medical attention, following the ugly incident involving Richard Basangwa earlier this week in a goalless draw.
However, unlike the Basangwa incident, this time the ambulance was functional, sparing Express further criticism and scrutiny.
