Mengo City stretched their unbeaten run to 17 matches in the BetPawa Futsal Super League with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Edgars Youth Programme on Friday night.
Despite facing a resilient Edgars side, the league leaders found the breakthrough midway through the second half when Abdulkarim Tebera calmly slotted home to give the Stormers a deserved lead. Ian Tugume doubled the advantage shortly after to seal all three points and maintain Mengo’s spot at the summit.
It was a composed performance from the Stormers, who have not lost a game since their opening-day 7-1 defeat to Park FC. With 45 points from 18 matches, Mengo now lead the table by a single point over their title rivals.
Park FC Respond with Narrow Win
Park FC responded to last week’s shock 2-1 defeat to Kabowa Dream Team by edging out Nansana ASKA in a thrilling 3-2 encounter. The Rangers looked in control after John Kitanda gave them a first-half lead, but they were stunned early in the second half as Jacob Opio and Kazibwe Shuhaib scored in quick succession to put Nansana ahead.
Park, however, showcased their title credentials by turning the game around. Kitanda levelled in the 30th minute with his second of the night, before Derrick Walugembe fired in the winner to keep the pressure on Mengo at the top.
Kabowa Dream Team Pull Off Stunning Comeback
Kabowa Dream Team continued to impress, rallying from two goals down to beat QC Mbarara 5-3 in a dramatic contest. QC raced into a 2-0 lead through Kenneth Majara and Tamale Franklin, but Mugenyi Swabur pulled one back before half-time and equalised from the spot early in the second half.
Although Vincent Abigaba briefly restored QC’s lead with a penalty of his own, Kabowa came roaring back in the final ten minutes with goals from Patrick Ssekandi, Carlos Kaddu, and Vincent Kazibwe to complete a remarkable turnaround.
