MUBS storms to early lead in AUUS Games football

The 2025 Association of Uganda University Sports (AUUS) Games day two concluded with an action-packed football programme, and Makerere University Business School (MUBS) continued to assert their dominance with impressive performances.

MUBS underlined their title ambitions with back-to-back victories, taking control of the early standings.

After a convincing 3-1 win over Kampala International University (KIU), they followed it up with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Lira University, courtesy of an early strike by Andrew Sempijja in the third minute.

MUBS also showed resilience in a 1-1 draw against Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), where Sudir Bin Said’s fifth-minute goal was cancelled out by Mumali Faizo’s penalty in the 52nd minute.

The result kept MUBS unbeaten, solidifying their position as early frontrunners.

Other notable results included Uganda Christian University (UCU) edging ISBAT University 2-1, Kyambogo University’s narrow 1-0 win over Makerere University, and Nkumba University’s dramatic 1-0 victory over Kyambogo.

Kampala International University bounced back with a 2-1 win over IUIU, inspired by Isaac Musasizi’s brace.

Defences were on top in several matches, including a goalless draw between KIU and Bishop Stuart University, and a 0-0 stalemate between Makerere University and Uganda Martyrs University (UMU).
