KAMPALA. The pain of losing stung Mengo City and it showed.
Formerly KSPG, Mengo City took a 2-1 half time lead through Arafat Bizimana and Vasco Oketch but went on to lose 3-2 to the disappointment of the technical bench.
Bleeding with anger, team officials shouted the referees but the ugly scenes could not bring back the three points. It was spoilt milk!
A composed Crown, had outwitted them and it was a bitter pill to swallow after goal keeper Sam Kirabo scored in his own net before Ismail Abdirashid scored the winner.
Four goals more
Crown are second on the table simply because Park, who beat bottom-placed Kabowa United 8-1 have scored a massive 28 goals, four goals more.
The whipping Park gave to Kabowa pushed Joseph Bukenya to 14 goals, two goals better than Crown’s Abdfatah Ahmed.
Aidenal continued their rollercoaster season with a 4-3 loss to Typhoons. Veron Bikamata and Arafat Lubega grabbed themselves a brace each for Typhoons while Ronald Ssonko scored all three goals for Aidenal.
