URA record 11th draw of the season

URA record 11th draw of the season

Thursday, April 16
•Buhimba United Saints 1-2 Entebbe UPPC
•Mbarara City 1-2 Police
•URA FC 1-1 BUL


URA and BUL played out a 1-1 draw in a Uganda Premier League match played at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo on Thursday.

The Tax Collectors needed a Bruno Bunyaga strike in the second half to rescue a point after BUL went ahead earlier through Richard Okello.

Okello, picked by Reagan Kalyowa after Innocent Kisolo failed to block the cross, curled in the opening goal in the 34th minute.

But the equaliser arrived two minutes after restart, with Bunyaga dinking it into the net after Godfrey Ssekibengo had headed his way.

The result denies BUL Coach Alex Isabirye a dream reunion against his former side URA FC, having parted with the Tax Collectors in November just after seven matches.

And his side remain without a win after three games, having lost to Maroons and a goalless draw against Mbarara City in recent matches.

They sit eigth on the table with 31 points after 23 games this season.

The draw is the 11th URA FC has registered this season, including a goalless draw the two teams played out when they met in the first round at Njeru.

What next – URA FC will visit Police on April 21 while BUL will host UPDF on the same date.
