Masaza Cup 2020: Bugerere Slumbers, Mawokota Takes Off With Three Paramount Points

Bugerere Ssaza who had a sweet start in their opening fixture, gave their counterparts, Mawokota a smooth ride to quarter final stage following their defeat on day two against the latter.

The 2013 champions, Mawokota beat Bugerere 2-0 in the encounter enjoyed at FUFA Technical Centre Njeru on Saturday afternoon.

Isaac Oforwith and super sub  Livingstone Jurua were on target on the day as Mawokota register their second consecutive win in Masengere group of 2020 Masaza Cup tourney.

Isaac Oforwith sent the three time champion Mawokota in the lead 18 minutes into the game before Fazil Tumwine’s failure to convert the ball into the net after his penalty kick was saved by Bugerere’s goalie Arafat Otim in the 44th minute of first stanza.

With much hopes to square the game at least before the last rap, Bugerere, instead found the ball in their own net when super sub in Livingston Jurua who replaced Fazil Tumwine in second half sealed Mawokota’s victory in style with two minutes to spare.

The win pushed Mawokota on top of the table and secured them a slot in quarter finals, in their last fixture against Kyadondo they will be only looking for a point to confirm that they are the table leaders.
