It was a historic day in the betPawa Futsal Super League for forward AbdiKarim Abdullahi Ahmed as Kisenyi routed Kawempe 10-4 at the pinnacle of matchday 13.
In their emphatic victory over the league’s bottom-placed side, the young forward became the first futsal player to score eight goals in a single game ever in Uganda.
After Warsame Ismail put Kisenyi ahead early in the game, Abdullahi scored three times in three minutes, putting Kisenyi four goals up by the 7th minute.
Ashraf Walugembe and Reagan Ssebuufu then scored two goals for Kawempe, making the score 4-2 by the 13th minute.
Immediately after, Warsame scored again before Abdullahi got his fourth, marking Kisenyi’s sixth goal of the night.
With halftime ending 6-3, Abdullahi scored all four of Kisenyi’s second-half goals, securing his side’s victory at 10-4.
Having scored eight times, the Kisenyi pivot now sits second on the top goalscorer’s log with 23 goals. He is now only two goals below the current leader Michael Lubowa, who plays for Lubaga Grameen.
