In a gritty league showdown at the FUFA Technical Center in Njeru, Busoga United showcased their resilience by holding SC Villa to a 1-1 draw, denying the latter a chance to narrow the gap at the top of the table.
Despite SC Villa’s dominance for much of the game, their failure to convert numerous scoring opportunities proved costly as Busoga United fought back admirably to secure a crucial point.
SC Villa took the lead in the 20th minute through Charles Lwanga, following a well-coordinated play by Abasi Kyeyune. However, their lead was short-lived as Moses Logono’s powerful left-footed strike in the 88th minute leveled the scores for Busoga United.
Despite SC Villa’s attacking prowess, exemplified by Hakim Kiwanuka’s near miss in the second half, Busoga United’s resolute defense, highlighted by a crucial clearance off the line, denied them further goals.
SC Villa squandered several opportunities, with Lwanga, Elvis Ngoonde, and Abasi Kyeyune failing to capitalize on promising chances before halftime, leaving them to rue missed opportunities.
The draw sees SC Villa and BUL joint second in the league standings, trailing leaders Kitara by four points. Meanwhile, Busoga United’s spirited performance propels them out of the relegation zone, drawing level on points with Gaddafi.
