Women Football: UCU Lady Cardinals riot against defending champions Lady Doves to maintain unbeaten run

UCU Lady Cardinals thumped defending champions Lady Doves 5-0 to register a third successive victory in the 2021/22 FUFA Women Super League season.

The game was played at UCU grounds in Mukono on Saturday, 19th January 2022.

UCU Lady Cardinals’ riot over the “Believers” was championed by former St. Noa Girls Secondary School-Zana defender and forward Harriet Muwugumya and Sandra Kisakye, magician Hasifah Nasuuna, Shadia Nankya and debutant Asiat Nalugwa.

Muwugumya sparked off the riot with a strong left foot strike just 12 minutes into the first stanza before Uganda’s finest Hasifah Nasuuna converted from the mark in 65th to make it 2-0.

In the second half, defender Shadia Nankya extended the lead to 3-0 (73) before Sandra Kisakye finished a text book move to make it 4-0 just 2 minutes later.

Debutant Asiat Nalugwa sealed UCU Lady Cardinals victory with a beauty that confirmed a 5-0 sscoreline.

The win took UCU to the table summit with nine points after three games.
