Bulemeezi 1-0 Gomba
Bulemeezi beat Gomba 1-0 to lift their third (3rd) Masaza Cup title. The hugely attended final was held at Muteesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku on Saturday afternoon.
Forward Johnson Ssenyonga scored a long range beauty to inspire Bulemeezi to this year’s title. The goal came 71 minutes into the game.
Bulemeezi has now won three Masaza Cup titles having secured their first (1st) and second (2nd) in 2012 and 2019 respectively.
This was Bulemeezi’s fourth (4th) final appearance. They lost their very first in 2011 to Buluuli.
Meanwhile, Gomba will wait a bit longer to win their 6th title. They have won five in 2004, 2009, 2014, 2017 and 2020.
Gomba was without tactician Felix Ssekabuuza Kawooya and custodian Tony Atugonza due to suspensions.
However, Bulemeezi also missed their season’s top goal scorer David Opio who was also serving yellow cards suspension.
Mawokota defeated Buddu 3-0 to finish third in this year’s edition. Calvin Peter Emayu scored a brace as Denis Kkonde added one in the classification tie.
