The Match

The Printers made a bright start, taking the lead just three minutes into the contest through Munguchi. Odongo delivered a pinpoint aerial ball that found the forward, who rose well to head home and give UPPC an early advantage.

UPPC continued to threaten and came close to doubling their lead when Kokolo released Orit with an excellent through ball. However, Orit was unable to beat the goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation.

Munguchi remained a constant threat in attack, while The Printers maintained their pressure on the Police FC defence. Police FC, meanwhile, struggled to make a significant impact going forward.

The pressure eventually paid off again in the 28th minute. Ochungo delivered an excellent cross, and Munguchi rose to head home his second goal of the evening, putting The Printers firmly in control.

The visitors’ task became more difficult shortly before half-time when Matovu Richard, wearing shirt number three, received a second yellow card and was sent off, leaving Police FC to continue with ten men.

UPPC maintained control after the restart, managing the game effectively while continuing to search for further goals.

Head Coach Abdallah Mubiru introduced Moro Swadick, Bugembe, Ssengendo, Poloto and Kigozi as the match progressed, bringing fresh energy into the side.

Kigozi back among the goals

The decisive moment arrived in the 89th minute when Ssengendo released Kigozi through on goal. The forward showed composure to lift the ball over the goalkeeper and complete a convincing 3–0 victory for The Printers.

What it means

The victory takes Entebbe UPPC FC to 10 points from their opening five league matches, placing the club fourth in the standings as of Friday night.

The Printers have now scored six goals and conceded two in their opening five league fixtures, underlining their defensive organisation and growing competitiveness in the top flight.

Despite the convincing result, Head Coach Abdallah Mubiru remains keen for the team to improve its finishing and become more clinical in front of goal as the season progresses.
