Obed Gui on brace as Uganda Martyrs University clinches convincing win Over MUST

Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) skipper Obed Gui Ronald was the star of the show as his team defeated Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) 2-0 in the Pepsi University Football League on Sunday.

Gui’s brace sealed the Saints’ second win of the campaign and lifted them level on seven points with Group A leaders, Kampala University (KU).

Gui’s clinical finishing was the difference-maker in the match, as he rose highest to nod home Yiga Steven’s perfectly delivered cross in the 21st minute.

He doubled the lead in the 64th minute, calmly slotting past MUST goalkeeper Tukwatanise Gad after a precise pass from Ogen Gabriel.

Uganda Martyrs University dominated the match, with Jjonga Nicolas dictating the tempo in midfield and Yiga Steven causing problems down the wing.

MUST, on the other hand, created chances through Okongo Moses and Lomuro Joseph, but both forwards squandered their opportunities.

The win saw Uganda Martyrs University join Kampala University at the summit of Group A with seven points, while MUST suffered their first defeat of the season.

The Mbarara side had earlier drawn 1-1 with Kampala International University before thrashing University of Kisubi 4-0 at home.

The Pepsi University Football League will continue next year, with Kabale University seeking their first win of the season against high-flying Muteesa I Royal University.

Uganda Martyrs University and MUST will return to action next year to complete their remaining group fixtures.
