Wakiso Giants 1-1
Vipers {Vipers win 4-3 on penalties]
Wakiso Giants
journey in the Stanbic Uganda Cup came to end this season following a loss in
the penalties in the round of 16 at Kabaka Kyabaggu.
The game ended 1-1
in normal time with Ashraf Mandela cancelling out a beautiful strike by Shariph
Kimbowa.
Kimbowa got at the
end of a super move with Marvin Nyanzi on his first start setting him with a
well weighted pass which he volleyed home on the 48th minute mark.
The forward who had
a good game until his forced substitution could have added to the tally but
Fabien Mutombora did well to stop him.
The Burundian also
denied Norman Ojik moments after he came on while Hassan Ssenyonjo’s cutback
was nearly turned into own net by Livingstone Mulondo.
Mandela then scored
in the 79th minute getting on the cutback by Martin Kizza.
The Purple Sharks
played the final minutes plus additional time with only 10-men after defender
Paul Willa was elbowed by Ahmed Desire Tety who only got a yellow card.
In the shootout,
Ojik saw his effort saved while Tom Masiko hit the cross bar although George
Kaddu, Moses Aliro and Rahmat Ssenfuka converted beautifully.
Vipers converted
all their attempts on a painful chilly evening.
We now turn focus
to the Uganda Premier League and unless otherwise, we take on Blacks Power in
Lira on Monday next week.
