The Star-Times Uganda Premier League matchday six saw Uganda Police FC triumph passed Kyetume football club 3-1 at MTN Omondi Stadium on Friday 12th February 2021.
This was the first game for the corps since December last year following a break in the league due to the CHAN competitions where Uganda participated and also general elections later in January.
This victory was a perfect turning point having lost the last game against the Army side UPDF FC prior to the break.
The corps came into this game without their Hitman Ben Ochen who is the club’s top scorer this season, midfielder Tony Mawejje, Frank Tumwesigye, Fahad Kizito, Samuel Kayongo who are all injured and Derrick Kakooza who is on national duty with the Hippos.
However, Johnson Odong struck the opener in the 20th minute for the corps courtesy of a beautiful assist from Muwada Mawejje before Muwada himself put on the scoring boots to double the lead in the 35th minute and Baker Buyala clinched a consolation for the visitors three minutes towards the break to make it 2-1 at halftime.
Brian Mululi Mayanja sealed the corps’ victory with a winner to make it 3-1 in the 73rd minute.
Meanwhile, Kampala Capital City Authority football club (KCCA) fell to lethal BUL FC in a disappointing 2-1 loss. Esenu and Mukongotya scored for BUL as Charles Lwanga netted the consolation for the Kasasiro boys.
Elsewhere, Mbarara City FC was beaten by Wakiso Giants 1-0 at Kakyeka stadium. At the green light stadium, Onduparaka, Busoga United ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
Star Times Uganda Premier League returns tomorrow Saturday 13th February 2021 with the table leaders facing the defending Champions Vipers, SC Villa facing MYDA, Bright Stars up against Kitara and URA locking horns with Express FC.
