Result: Maroons 1-1 UPDF
Maroons and UPDF played to a one-all draw in the Uganda Premier League encounter at Luzira Prisons Ground on Sunday.
Jackson Nunda and Hussein Zzinda scored for Maroons and UPDF in the thrilling stalemate.
Muhajid Ogama and Ibrahim Dada came so close but put to waste clear opportunities for the hosts.
In the same spirit, Samuel Ssekamatte and Joseph Janjali had a chance to give UPDF the lead but failed to find the back of the net.
However, in the 83rd minute, Nunda fired Maroons ahead with a thunderous effort as the hosts got on their feet.
With a minute left on the clock, Zzinda easily tapped home on a rebound as Maroons’ custodian Hassan Matovu tried to punch away a strong effort.
Next on the menu, Maroons will host Wakiso Giants on Friday, September 20, while UPDF will play Lugazi in Bombo a day earlier.
