URA 7-3 Buhimba United Saints

URA marked Edward Golola’s first outing in charge with a thumping 7–3 victory over Buhimba United in a wildly fluctuating contest at Nakivubo on Wednesday as the first season double header truly kicked off.

The emphatic result, only their second victory in eight matches, lifted the Tax Collectors from 13th to fifth on 11 points, while Buhimba’s struggles deepened as they slipped to 12th on nine points.

Joseph Ssemujju’s solo effort in the 31st minute set URA on their way before Nelson Senkatuka’s well-struck free kick made it 2–0. On the stroke of halftime, Denis Luzige Kisiriko added a third after fine work from Ssemujju.

Buhimba, however, briefly threatened a comeback. Martin Phillip Opolot curled home a 55th-minute free kick, and four minutes later Edson Agondeze reduced the deficit to 3–2 after being set up by Swadik Moro.

URA needed a response, and Amaku delivered it in ruthless fashion. The forward capitalised on a defensive lapse in the 70th minute for 4–2, then added a second four minutes later from a Kabon Living assist.

His hat-trick was sealed in the 83rd minute with another composed finish, stretching the score to 6–2 and sealing his Man of the Match performance.

Buhimba pulled one back through Charles Kyomuhendo in the 85th minute, but Kabon Living wrapped up the scoring for URA in stoppage time to complete a dominant display.
