Report: Wakiso Giants 1-2 Mbarara City

Wakiso Giants lost a goal lead to lose 2-1 to Mbarara City on league resumption at the Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium on Friday.

Tom Masiko scored from the penalty after Pius Kaggwa was fouled in the area inside fourth minute.

But Henry Kitegenyi and substitute Solomon Okwalinga scored for Mbarara City in the 40^th and 85^th minute respectively.

The Purple Sharks could have doubled the lead but Kaggwa’s attempt from just inside the area was saved and Yasin Mugume shot just wide from the rebound.

After a series of missed chances, Kitegenyi levelled matters five minutes to the break.

Coach Douglas Bamweyana withdrew Mugume for Kipson Atuheire and later a triple change with Joshua Lubwama replacing Lawrence Bukenya, Ibrahim Kasule came on for Kaggwa and Alex Komakech replaced debutant George Kaddu.

Ivan Bogere had two opportunities missed and so did Masiko who shot straight at the goalie while Kasule also shot narrowly wide.

Okwalinga then punished the team’s profligacy with the winner in the 85^th minute to condemn us to a fourth defeat of the season and leaves us 13^th on the table with 16 points in as many games.

Next on menu is the Stanbic Uganda Cup round of 32 first leg tie against Water FC at Kavumba Recreation Ground on Sunday.
