Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Lugazi wasted a chance to go top of the betPawa Big League Friday after slipping to a 1-1 draw against Booma on a day that Police\u2019s poor form on the road stretched on.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sam Ssemugugu put the Richard Makumbi\u2019s side ahead in the 19th minute but will blame self for failing to bury more chances to kill the game early.<\/p>\n

Veteran Wesley Kisakye who worked with Mark Twinamasiko at Kitara reunited with the coach with a second-half goal on his debut for Booma to share the spoils.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came all out but were unlucky because we had about four open chances in the first 20 minutes but wasted them,\u201d Lugazi\u2019s Makumbi mourned the missed chances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were the better in the first half but game changed in the second half where they dominated and scored the equalizer but that became a players\u2019 problem because we gave them the plan,\u201d he shifted the blame.<\/p>\n

Table leaders Police stretched their winless run on the road to four games following the barren stalemate against Kaaro Karungi in Ibanda.<\/p>\n

The two draws leave the Cops on the top with 33 points as Lugazi maintain their two-point chase with 31, the same as Mbale Heroes.<\/p>\n

The Mbale side beat Young Elephants in nwoya District courtesy of new signing Faisal Kiberu\u2019s late strike.<\/p>\n

Booma move to fourth with 25 points, one ahead of Blacks Power who lost 2-1 to Kigezi Homeboyz away.<\/p>\n

In the other match, Bernard Ndifuna scored in the last minute to give Onduparaka the win over Kiyinda Boys.<\/p>\n
