Express FC delivered an early Christmas  present to the fans following their 1 – 0 win over arch rivals S.C Villa on Saturday at the Betway Muteesa II stadium Wankulukuku.

Forward George Ssenkaaba cooly and calmly slotted home from the left wing leaving shot stopper Saidi Keni  helpless immediately after restart.

The game saw both teams cancel each other out in either half with few chances to write home about. Forward Eric Kambale rattled the cross bar 18 minutes into the game while Kabonge Nicolas sent his freekick off mark just outside the 18 yard area.

After recess, only Ssenkaaba’s goal stood out and Head coach Wasswa Bossa says the most important thing was earning a victory in the derby.

“The most important thing is that we earned the three points in the derby,  our target remains trying to win silverware, this is now done, we look forward to the next games next year” He stated.

Goal scorer George Ssenkaba emphasized that the team learnt from their mistakes in the past game (Vs Mbarara City).

“When we came back from Mbarara, we decided to iron out our mistakes, it wasn’t an easy game but am happy we picked up a win, it’s not all over, we shall go back and plan for the remaining games” the soft speaking forward said.

The win takes Express FC to 8 points after four match days. The league will resume in February 2021 after CHAN.
