- IUEA 0-1 UMU
In a thrilling encounter at the Pepsi University Football League, Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) etched their name into the quarterfinals with a narrow 1-0 victory over the International University of East Africa (IUEA) on Monday.
The decisive moment came in the 5th minute when Aguma Wesley rose to the occasion, expertly finishing a well-executed corner kick delivered by Calvin Peter Emayu.
The early goal sent the UMU camp into celebration as they took an immediate lead that would prove to be the match-winner.
Despite relentless efforts from IUEA to find an equalizer, UMU’s rock-solid defense stood firm, repelling every attack.
IUEA created several promising opportunities but lacked the clinical edge to convert them into goals.
Their resilience and determination suggest they could become a force to reckon with in future campaigns.
With this hard-fought victory, UMU cemented their dominance in the competition, securing maximum points from four matches and guaranteeing their spot in the knockout stage with two games to spare.
Meanwhile, IUEA’s struggles continue as they recorded their second consecutive defeat at the hands of UMU, leaving them third in the group with just four points.
The University Football League action resumes tomorrow with a clash between defending champions Nkumba University and Busitema University, promising yet another exciting fixture in the competition.
