Left winger Martin Kizza was a marvel to  watch on Saturday  evening as his side, Express  FC completed a league double over URA after their  3-1 victory over the tax collectors at the Betway Muteesa II Stadium, Wakulukuku.

Kizza, who was unveiled as a Red Eagle on Friday was involved  in all  three of Express goals on Sunday  evening.

It never took long for Kizza to affect the game as his picked out Charles Musige who in turn sweeped in a wonderful  delivery for Geodfrey Lwesibawa to net the first inside the first 10 minutes.

Moments later, it was two for Express after Eric Kambaale headed in following an exquisite  freekick delivery  by Kizza.

With eight minutes to the  break, Kizza was at the heart of things again after he was fouled in the forbidden area by Benjamin Nyakoojo. Kambaale stepped up and completed his brace from the spot.

But before the goal, the game witnessed its first caution when Murushid Juuko was yellow carded for the referee

Juuko was sent  off in the 54th minute for a second bookable offence.

Four minutes after the  red card, URA got their first  of game after top scorer Steven Mukwala converted from  the  spot after referee Ali Sabira pointed to the penalised Kambale for a handball in the forbidden  area.

But that goal wasnt enough as Wasswa Bbosa’s side held onto their lead to secure a deserved victory  over the tax collectors

With the win, Express have now garnered 35 points in 16 and have also been closed the gap on Log leaders Vipers and URA, who are tied on 36 points.
