SC Villa delivered a commanding performance on Thursday, overpowering URA FC with a 3-0 victory in a Uganda Premier League clash at FUFA Stadium Kadiba. The win propelled the hosts to second place in the league table with 20 points, while URA remained stagnant in ninth with 11 points after 10 matches.
Match Highlights
The home team started aggressively, with an early penalty appeal waved off in the 13th minute after Frank Ssebufu went down in the box. Despite URA's attempts to threaten through Justine Opiro's long throws, Villa's defense held firm.
Diego Missi Ssemugera broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute, capitalizing on a spilled free kick by URA goalkeeper Chrispus Kusiima. URA nearly equalized moments later, but a curling strike rattled the woodwork instead.
Second-Half Dominance
URA substituted Kusiima for Muhamad Ssekkeba at halftime, but the change failed to stem the tide. Najib Yiga doubled Villa's lead with a thunderous strike that overwhelmed the replacement keeper, before Frank Mulimi sealed the result in the 70th minute with a deflected shot.
The comprehensive win marked a resurgence for SC Villa, who now trail league leaders by just three points. URA, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly to revive their faltering campaign.
