The tactician now believes the game against the Venoms is a good opportunity for his charges to make their intent clear. "After playing three games without a win, we think Friday's game is a must-win, for us to remain in the title race, we have to win against our closest challengers and the boys know we have to win," "Also, we hope some players will be available both from suspensions and injury so we’re set." Experienced defender Murushid Juuko, who will be playing against his former team, conceded they are disappointed with their last outing against Bright Stars but remained optimistic it...

It is the reason coach Kajoba has called on the Venoms to make sure they make good use of the chances they create so that they don't end up being punished at the end of the game. “Well, you cannot get anything after the final whistle when you do not convert those chances into goals,” Kajoba told the club’s official website after the game. “We have to maximise most and bury the opportunities to avoid being punished because that’s the only way out.” Captain Paul Willa is confident they will keep their good record at home when they come up against the Red Eagles.

Paul Mucureezi could have opened the score in the 28th minute but he sent his effort over the bar after he had been put through on goal by Disan Galiwango. A minute after the half-hour mark, Murushid Juuko was booked after he exchanged words with referee Ssali Mashoodi. Mucureezi was unlucky in the 35th minute when his second chance went narrowly wide after receiving a cross from Karim Watambala.

Erick Kambale came close to opening the scores for the visitors in the 20th minute when he created enough space to connect well to a corner delivered by Godfrey Lwesibawa but he placed the ball agonizingly past the near post on the left. Express goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga was called into action ten minutes later when his finger-tip save denied Villa’s Ronald Ssekiganda and at the opposite end, Saidi Kenyi also came through for the hosts with a similar save to deny Charles Musiige five minutes to the break. After the resumption, Express knew they had to keep piling more pressure on their o...

"We have focused on attacking so that we can score and kill off the game as soon as possible. The Uganda Cup is a very important competition in the club's history, having won it 10 times, we want to ensure we win it again. I am sure the boys will deliver." Goalkeeper Denis Otim seconded his tactician, exuding confidence the Kampala-based side will make it to the Round of 16. "On Tuesday we picked up two important goals against Kyetume FC and ever since, we have been training hard and correcting the mistakes," the custodian said. "So I am sure we shall deliver; I am also excited and glad to be...
