Uganda Cup – Round of 64
Kajjansi 1(8)-1(7) Vipers SC
Mutessa II Stadium, Wankulukuku

The Uganda Cup is always special because it is the most unpredictable tournament in the country.

Its being special comes from the fact that it produces shocks as lower division clubs at times get the better of the so-called giants.

On Tuesday, it produced arguably the biggest shock in the recent past as Regional side Kajjansi United eliminated Uganda Premier League leaders Vipers SC.

Moses Ssenyonga’s side who missed out on promotion to the Big league last year following a loss to Katwe United in the Regional League playoffs final, defeated the Venoms 8-7 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

After a surprisingly dominant start by Kajjansi, they took a shock lead in halftime through Francis Male.

However, quality took its toll in the second (half) and with 16 minutes to play, Vipers’ lethal striker Fahad Bayo pounced and netted an equalizing goal.

Neither side would win it in the remaining minutes of normal time and settled for spot kicks to decide who progresses to the round of 32.

After both side converted their mandatory five spots, it went to sudden death and it is where the Potters would find passage to the next round.

Leading 8-7, Kajjansi custodian Mike Kagiri saved Umar Kyebatala’s effort to send the Regional side through and dump Vipers out.

The result means Vipers will have to wait for another year to try and win a second Uganda Cup title in their history.

Their first and only one came in 2016 when they beat then Big League side-Onduparaka FC 3-1 in the final played at Nakivubo stadium.

In the other games played on Wednesday, the other two Uganda Premier League sides in action were also both eliminated.

Onduparaka lost 1-0 to Bugamba while Busia Young dumped out Busoga United following a 2-1 result.

Uganda Cup action will resume on Thursday with six games on card.

SC Villa, Maroons FC and Bright Stars are some of the big names that will be in action.
