Saturday’s Masaza Cup action delivered fireworks as Bukono cruised past Bunhole Bunhanumba in a 4-0 demolition, while drama unfolded in Kisiki as Busiki’s draw with Butembe ended in chaos. With just one match day left to wrap up the first round, Sunday promises blockbuster clashes across three grounds.
Mupere Hat-trick Headlines Bukono Brilliance
Joel Mupere was the standout performer of the day, bagging a sensational hat-trick to power Bukono to a resounding 4-0 win at Ivukula Sub-county Headquarters. Emmanuel Nabola added the fourth as Bukono stamped their authority atop the Mawembe group with 7 points from three games.
Mupere’s treble sends him top of the tournament scoring charts with three goals, while Nabola joins Euku Simon (Busiki) and Umaru Baluzilye (Luuka) on two apiece. The edition has now seen 27 goals scored.
Violence Mars Kisiki Clash
At Kisiki College, Busiki and Butembe battled to a 1-1 draw, but it was fan behavior that stole the spotlight. After Ashiraf Ssemmanda cancelled out Ivan Nakalanda’s opener for Butembe, angry Busiki fans stormed the pitch, seriously injuring Butembe player Kibirege Obadiah Martin, who was later rushed to Namutumba Health Center three for medical attention.
Busiki stay top of the Nendha group with 5 points, while Butembe finish the round with just 2 points from three matches.
Bugabula Stay Perfect
At Kamuli Municipal Stadium, Bugabula sealed a second straight win with a 1-0 result over Luuka, thanks to Ayebale Samuel’s first-half strike. With 6 points, Bugabula comfortably top the Bukowe group and are among the early favorites for the knockout stage.
Super Sunday Showdowns – What’s at Stake
The final day of the first round sees three huge matches across the region:
Buzaya vs Bulamogi (Lwanyama Primary School)
Both teams seek their first win in the Kagulu group. Buzaya boasts a strong home record while Bulamogi carries a worrying trend of away losses.
Kigulu vs Bukooli Namayingo (Iganga Technical Institute – LIVE on Baba TV)
Kigulu aim to protect their home fortress. Bukooli Namayingo, fresh from victory, hope to break a two-year away curse.
Bugweri vs Budiope (Busesa Mixed P/S)
With qualification on the line, this match is personal. Bugweri seek revenge after being eliminated by Budiope last year at the same venue.
