Bul slip on slippery Nec, Ssemujju revels in Obua-ball

Bul’s coach Abbey Kikomeko made some changes at the beginning of the second half, bringing in Lawrence Tezikya and Gerald Ogweti after his tried and tested Alex Kitata failed to deliver.

However, the tides kept flowing against the league leaders as keeper Tom Ikara once again came up to save the situation by stretching out to keep Enock Ssebagala's brilliant attempt out.

Bul finally scrapped something out of the match with six minutes left when Samuel Ssekamate sneaked in to nod a move that had snaked from Ikara through Richard Ayikoh to Nec’s goal.

"We got two red cards against Express and then some injuries that have affected our plans but we're going to find a way to adjust from here," Abbey Kikomeko, the Bul head coach said after the match.

His counterpart Hussein Mbalangu, whose team has climbed to third with 20 points, six behind Bul blamed the defensive error that led to the equaliser in the 84th minute.

"We had contained the game but suffered a defensive miscommunication at the end when we conceded the goal with only six minutes left. We're here to compete," Mbalangu said after the game.
