By Fred Mayanja

Black Stars FC staged a remarkable comeback to defeat PCCP/Uplift Soccer Academy 3-2 in an entertaining Kampala Regional League encounter played on Thursday evening at the waterlogged Kibuli SS playground.

Under the guidance of head coach Abdurazaki Ssekajja, Black Stars made a bright start, taking the lead in the eighth minute through Lawrence Ssembatya, who calmly converted to put his side ahead.

PCCP goalkeeper Daniel Ocama was then called into action five minutes later, producing an excellent save to deny Musa Kironde and keep his side in the contest.

PCCP gradually grew into the game, enjoying more possession before finding an equaliser through Acha Kiwere Aze in the 22nd minute. They completed a quick turnaround just a minute later when Kato Kalungi struck to give Uplift a 2-1 advantage.

Black Stars returned from the interval with renewed determination and restored parity in the 48th minute through Samuel Ntulume, setting up a tense second half.

With both sides pushing for a decisive goal, the contest remained fiercely competitive until substitute Ivan Kanda Agamile proved to be the difference-maker.

Agamile struck in the 85th minute, finishing from close range past PCCP goalkeeper Moses Ateu to complete Black Stars’ comeback and secure all three points.

The victory takes Black Stars FC to nine points from three matches, maintaining their perfect start to the campaign and propelling them back to the summit of the Kampala Regional League standings.

PCCP/Uplift Soccer Academy, meanwhile, continue their search for a maiden victory after collecting two draws and suffering one defeat in their opening three matches.

The encounter brought Matchday Three to a close, with league action set to resume on Sunday, November 15, and Monday, November 16, when nine fixtures are scheduled to take place across different venues.
