Match Report: BUL FC 0–2 UPPC FC
Uganda Premier League – Match Day 8, Thursday 27th November 2025
FUFA Technical Centre – Njeru
Another away day to remember. We delivered a disciplined and clinical performance in Njeru to defeat BUL FC 2–0 — a result that moves us to 13 points from eight games, just four points off the summit. Both teams entered the fixture on 10 points after losses on Match Day 7, but it was The Printers who showed character, composure, and quality to take all three points.
Starting XI & Team News
Head Coach Abdallah made three changes from the team that took on Police FC:
- Amayo returned from injury, replacing Kiryowa at centre-back.
- Marvin Mukiibi came in for Isa Mubiru at left-back.
- Kyeyune reclaimed a starting role, taking the place of Kokas in the right wing.
Starting XI: Omedwa, Odongo, Mukiibi, Amayo, Mujuzi ©, Bugembe, Ssenyonjo, Munguchi, Kawawa, Kyeyune, Kigozi.
Played under a clear but sweltering hot afternoon, BUL FC began with direct intent — targeting early balls into the box in search of quick goals. Our defensive unit stayed composed, with Omedwa commanding his area superbly.
However, Amayo suffered a head injury after an aerial challenge and required medical attention. He was unable to continue, and Kiryowa was introduced in the 5th minute.
Despite the early setback, we gradually settled into the game. Kigozi had two first half-chances, while Omedwa produced two crucial saves to deny BUL FC. The closest we came to scoring in the first half fell to Ssenyonjo, whose effort was blocked off the line.
The first interval ended goalless — balanced, but with signs of growing belief from The Printers.
Second Half
We started the second period sharply and immediately increased the tempo. In the 49th minute, BUL lost possession near the centre arc. Ssenyonjo recovered the ball and released a precise through pass to Kigozi, who took a few clean touches before finishing brilliantly into the bottom right corner to give us the lead.
Seven minutes later, history repeated itself. BUL again lost possession in our half — this time Mukiibi pounced and lofted an aerial pass to Kigozi, who controlled it, drove into the penalty area, beat his marker, and fired into the near post for his second goal of the match.
BUL pushed forward in the latter stages, but our defence held strong. Mujuzi, Odongo, Mukiibi, and Kiryowa were flawless in shape and timing, while Omedwa remained reliable whenever called upon. We also threatened on the break through Kawawa, Munguchi, Kigozi, and Poloto, who came on to good effect.
The final whistle confirmed a well-earned win — one built on structure, resilience, and sharp finishing.
Full-Time Reflection
A mature away display and another defensive masterclass on the road. The victory lifts us to 13 points from 8 games, placing us firmly in the upper half of the table — just four points shy of the top in our debut Premier League campaign.
