Farouk Kawooya’s 87th minute superbly taken low strike completed an all important comeback from a goal down to win 2-1 at Nambole.
Nicholas Kagaba raced through URA static defenders before releasing Kawooya whose low strike slowly hit the bottom right corner of the net to send a handful of the SCVU Fans in jubilations.
Titus Lubega scored Victoria’s first from a penalty kick that resulted from a foul in the area on Farouk Kawooya by Sam SSekitto in the 20th minute of the game.
Kalanda had put the visitors in the lead after heading in Yayo Lutimba’s free kick five minutes after kick off.
Before SCVU equalised, Coach Hussein Kheri had made an early tactical change by replacing Asuman Alishe with attacking midfielder Mbowa Patrick to reduce on URA’s attacks from the centre of the pack.
Both teams had looked naive in the final third for most of the first half and thus the half ended 1-1.
When play resumed, the home side on a higher note attacking from left to right with Nicholas Kagaba
Kheri told soka25east.com after the game that he made the change introduce a ball player to counterpace his opponents who had outplayed them in the centre. ‘’ I put Alishe off and introduced Mbowa because he had had poor distribution of the ball in the minutes he had been on the pitch’’. Kheri said.
Kalanda almost won it for the visitors before Kawooya scored but he saw his diving header being parried away by the goal keeper for a corner.
URA coach Moses Basena made three suprise changes to the line-up that started against Express. He brought in Ntambi Julius for captain Massa Simeon (rested), Ochan Patrick for Feni Ali who started on bench and Sekitto Sam for Munaaba Allan who was also rested
. Kalanda Frank and Sentongo Robert started up front for the tax collectors but Ssentongo did little as he wasout muscled by the the energetic and tall defenders.
