Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Without skipper Shafik Kagimu and deputy Paul Mbowa, URA are mundane out of sorts side.<\/p>\n

Kagimu gives Simeone Masaba\u2019s team the impetus in the midfield and attack while Mbowa\u2019s indifatigable contribution and versatility is unmatched.<\/p>\n

The duo were absent through injury yesterday at the Fufa Technical Centre-Njeru, and a youthful unfancied SC Villa nearly took Masaba\u2019s charges to the cleaners.<\/p>\n

By the fourth minute, Villa live-wire forward Travis Mutyaba was solely dissecting the URA midfield and defence and knitting an eagle-eyed threaded pass to striker Saddam Masereka who finished past on-lashing goalkeeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo with relative ease.<\/p>\n

Winger Viane Ssekajugo pulled the visitors level with a well taken volley but it was more of a gift from the Villa defence than a URA orchestrated move. The Jogoo midfield trio of Salim Abdallah, Amir Kakomo and Goffin Oworwoth overran Saidi Kyeyune, Moses Sseruyidde and Ivan Sserubiri manning the tax collectors\u2019 central axis in sublime fashion. Towards the halftime whistle, Kakomo initiated a counter-attack before feeding an unmarked Mutyaba who simply cut in from the right wing to shoot past a hapless Ssebwalunyo.<\/p>\n

Had Petros Koukouras\u2019 inexperienced Jogoos believed they could kill off a less- inspiring and insipid URA, they would have bagged three priceless points at home.<\/p>\n

Two minutes from the final whistle, striker Cromwell Rwothomio rose the highest to nod URA level after Villa custodian Martin Ssenkoto didn\u2019t come off the line to clear Kyeyune\u2019s freekick.<\/p>\n

Villa, 12th on the StarTimes Uganda Premier League table with eight points from seven games, were that close. \u201c It is not the result we wanted but we shall fight back. I\u2019m very happy that I scored such a brilliant goal,\u201d said Mutyaba.<\/p>\n

Uganda Premier League- Tuesday<\/p>\n

SC Villa 2-2 URA<\/p>\n

Bul 5-0 Busoga Utd<\/p>\n

Express 2-0 Mbarara City<\/p>\n

Police 2-2 Gaddafi<\/p>\n

Onduparaka 1-1 Wakiso<\/p>\n

Bul Reign.<\/b><\/p>\n

For eighth-placed URA, their work is cut out ahead of Saturday\u2019s blockbuster clash with Express in Ndejje-Luweero. Elsewhere, the eagerly anticipated Busoga derby failed to live its billing after Bul whitewashes rivals Busoga United 5-0 at Bugembe Stadium to go third on the table. Busoga United goalkeeper Michael Nantamu\u2019s howlers bred four goals.Ibrahim Nsiimbe grabbed a hattrick while Musa Esenu also got on the scoresheet as Alex Isabirye\u2019s Bul pummeled 13th Busoga United for dead.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Jalendo was the stand coach for Busoga United as head coach Abbey Kikomeko served his suspension. Ahead of the Tooro United trip on Friday, Isabirye refused to be carried away by the commanding win.<\/p>\n

At Wankulukuku, goals by Eric Kambale and Godfrey Lwesibawa gave Express a 2-0 victory over Mbarara City to go sixth on 15 points. On a day when Police scored two, they could not keep a clean sheet as they played out a 2-2 draw with visiting Gaddafi at Lugogo.<\/p>\n
