Mbarara City compounds Maroons managerial misery
David Obua
KAMPALA- The man supposed to fill the coaching boots left behind by George ‘Best’ Nsimbe last month at Maroons David Obua (pic above) sat yards away from action – limited to livid expressions every after a miss.
Instead, Robert Ssekweyama was in charge yesterday at Luzira grounds as Maroons lost 2-0 to a charged Bright Stars side that continues to wow the league stakeholders by breathing down the necks of KCCA and Vipers.
The visitors were in command from the start, with South Sudanese striker Makeuth Wol punishing custodian Ashadu Bugembe’s awful mistake on 10 minutes.
It had to be resurgent Bright Stars to expose every flaw in Maroons amour – from a disjointed technical bench, demoralised players to a blunt attack force that has netted 16 goals in 17 matches whilst conceding 24.
“The referee (Robert Donney) denied us a clear penalty and should have disallowed their opening goal for infringement,” Ssekweyama told Daily Monitor.
Though he still believes they will stay afloat (they are only three points ahead of the red zone), Mbarara City’s second goal by Ivan Eyam, after a clever interplay amongst Paul Mucureezi and Ibrahim Orit, largely suggests they may not.
Ssekweyama was also betrayed by his substitutions, throwing on proven forwards Hermarn Wasswa,Pius Obuya and Yubu Bogere when Livingstone Mbabazi’s side had already seize control of the game – and later the result.
