Friday results

Maroons 1-1 BUL

Vipers 0-0 NEC

Vipers against NEC and Maroons versus BUL face off again next Tuesday and Wednesday after their respective first legs of the FUFA Super 8 failed to produce winners on Friday.

Defending champions, BUL, could only draw one-all with Maroons while no goals were registered between Vipers and NEC in a double header played at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.

Jerome Kiirya put BUL ahead with a thunderous strike on the stroke of half time but Brian Omirambe capitalised on calamitous goalkeeping to level matters for Maroons in the second half. 

BUL and Maroons meet in the return leg on Wednesday, this time at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo, a day after NEC and Vipers have faced off at the same venue. 

Elsewhere in the Super 8, action continues on Saturday with another double header at Omondi Stadium, where KCCA host Kitara and Uganda Cranes Select team face StarTimes Uganda Premier League champions, SC Villa.
