In a pulsating Uganda Premier League encounter, Express FC delivered a commanding performance against Wakiso Giants, sealing an emphatic 4-1 victory. The match, played at a packed stadium, saw Samuel Ssenyonjo open the scoring in the 15th minute, setting the tempo for an intense battle. Despite Wakiso Giants making a tactical double substitution at halftime, they struggled to contain Express FC’s relentless attacking force.
Wakiso Giants found a moment of respite when Oloya Moses netted the equalizer in the 25th minute of the second half, momentarily igniting hopes of a comeback. However, their celebrations were short-lived as Richard Basangwa swiftly restored Express FC’s lead within five minutes, showcasing his clinical finishing under pressure. The atmosphere grew more intense, with Wakiso Giants players seemingly overwhelmed by both the opposition and the fervent crowd.
As tensions flared, Ntagenda Ambrose (shirt number 8) committed a cynical foul to prevent an imminent goal-scoring opportunity, earning himself a yellow card. Express FC, undeterred by Wakiso’s aggressive defensive maneuvers, continued their relentless assault. Samuel Ssenyonjo struck again in the 90th minute, effectively sealing Wakiso’s fate and underscoring Express FC’s dominance.
With three minutes of stoppage time added, Express FC refused to relent. In a final statement of superiority, they found the net yet again, hammering in a fourth goal in the dying moments of the game. Their attacking prowess left Wakiso Giants utterly dejected, exposing gaps in their defensive discipline.
A standout performer on the night was Asimwe, whose versatility shone through. Playing as an inverted winger, he demonstrated greater effectiveness on the left flank, weaving through defenders with agility and creativity. Express FC’s ruthless performance reaffirmed their title ambitions, leaving Wakiso Giants with serious tactical questions to address.
