The FUFA Beach Soccer League produced an afternoon of pure drama at the Bamboo Gardens Arena on Match Day 5. From a shorthanded masterclass by the defending champions to a historic individual scoring spree, the league standings have been shaken up as the race for the title intensifies.
Â
Kampala City reclaimed their spot at the summit of the table, but it was far from easy. The champions arrived for their fixture against Grace Church with a significant disadvantage, fielding only four players and no substitutes.
Grace Church looked poised to capitalize on the fatigue, racing to a 2nd-period lead. However, the champions’ pedigree shone through. A brace from Ambrose Kigozi and a clutch performance from Hassan Luboyera kept them in the hunt. In a heartbreaking turn for Grace Church, a late own goal by Jonathan Mwanawangu sealed a 4-3 victory for City, catapulting them to 12 points and the top of the league.
Â
While Kampala City won with grit, Buganda Royal won with flair, thanks to Joseph Ssendi. In a clinical display against Mengo Hill, Ssendi put on a finishing clinic, netting six goals to lead his side to a 6-1 victory.
The performance was a much-needed boost for Buganda Royal, who have struggled for consistency this season. Ssendi’s double hat-trick now puts him firmly in the conversation for the Golden Boot, trailing only Kampala City’s Kigozi.
