Friday result
Express 1-2 SC Villa
SC Villa took Kampala derby bragging rights after a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over hosts Express at Mutesa II Stadium Stadium, Wankulukuku on Friday.
Patrick Kakande and Umar Lutalo scored Villa’s goals to render Alpha Ssali’s opener a consolation.
Both teams remain unchanged on the StarTimes Uganda Premier League table standings.
Villa are sixth on 16 points from 10 matches, while Express are just below the Jogoos on 13 points, both having played the same number of games.
Ssali, son to dancehall star Bebe Cool – who was watching from the stands – put the Red Eagles ahead when his goal-bound effort was deflected in after a beautiful through pass from Isaac Wagoina on 14 minutes.
But Villa levelled matters through Pilsner Man of Match, Kakande, on 35 minutes following a beautiful move of intricate passing.
Kakande picked the ball from the halfway line, dragged three Express players with him towards the left before his cut back to Ivan Bogere eliminated the Red Eagles markers.
Ronald Ssekiganda and Umar Lutalo picked up from there and back to Bogere, who just laid it on for Kakande to complete a brilliant move with a brilliant goal.
The Jogoos then ensured of all three points when Lutalo scored from a penalty spot on 63 minutes.
