Mbarara City are still looking for their first goal and win of the 2023/24 StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) with four matches played so far.
The Ankole Lions and Busoga United could only draw goalless at the Fufa Technical Centre, Njeru on Thursday.
UPDF are the other team yet to score a goal four matches into the season. The result on Thursday adds a point each to Busoga and Mbarara, who sit 10th and 11th respectively on four and three points.
Adjumani rains
Elsewhere in Adjumani, the match between hosts Arua Hill, who are temporarily using Paridi as their home ground, and Gaddafi was stopped after just 10 minutes following heavy rains. It has been rescheduled for Friday.
“Pursuant to Article 23 (2)(4) of the FUFA Competitions Rules – In case a match is abandoned as a result of force majeure the match shall recommence with the same score, at the same minute at which play was interrupted rather than being replayed in full.”
