Nanziri brace leads KQ to the top

Resty Nanziri scored an early second half brace to help Kampala Queens (KQ) to a 2-all draw away at Uganda Martyrs High School (UMHS) Lubaga yesterday.
UMHS started strong with new signing and national team goalkeeper Daisy Nakaziro cleared to play on the eve of the match giving assured security at the back.

That propelled the forward line to play on the front foot and the effort were rewarded with two goals within 25 minutes from Latifah Nakasi and Anita Namata.
However, they could not keep the energy in the second half and retreated to their own half from the start. KQ capitalized and Nanziri pulled one back for them from a corner in the 50th minute.

Six minutes later, she finished off a sweeping move that started with Shamirah Nalugya and involved Zainah Nandede and 35th minute substitute Lillian Mutuuzo to level the game.
Both sides had chances to kill off the encounter but could not getting the right finishing edge.
However, the draw propelled KQ to the top of the 10 team log on goal difference after She Corporate, who also have 26 points, fell to a shock 5-0 loss away to Lady Doves in Masindi.

A hattrick from Fazila Ikwaput, completed in stoppage time after a first half brace, and goals from either half from Norah Alupo and Dorcus Kwikiriza crucified Corporate to their first loss of the season.
In Mukono, Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals returned to winning ways at home by beating Tooro Queens 3-1 and are now fourth with 21 points - three behind UMHS.
