What you need to know:

The tie between the Kampala chapter still remains close to call especially if one is to consider that Mengo seem to know how to close off matches in the second leg while Kibuli has struggled with two back-to-back draws at home.

Jackson Oyiyi’s 63rd minute effort gave Kibuli SS some much needed advantage in their Fufa TV Cup Round of 16 tie away at Mengo SS on Friday.

The tie between the Kampala chapter still remains close to call especially if one is to consider that Mengo seem to know how to close off matches in the second leg while Kibuli has struggled with two back-to-back draws at home.

The same applies to Namilyango College, who were put to the sword by Amjad Mbalirwa stoppage time goal in the first half and Jamaldin Ssempebwa’s 85th minute effort away at Gombe SS on Saturday.

Nabumali High School have an even bigger advantage having beaten Sebei College Tegeres 3-0 on Saturday.
