Seven minutes later, Lwesibawa was at it again, calmly volleying Martin Kizza’s cross again from the right who had beat a forest of legs to cross the ball, the dominance went on until the break.

After recess, The hosts pushed to get back into the game but Issa Lumu and Murushid Juuko partnered to calm the situation.

In the 53rd minute, Charles Musiige made the run from the center line and just when he looked liked he had run out of options, he passed to an incoming Lwesibawa on the right who controlled the ball and smashed it into the net to complete his hat-trick and make it 3-0.

Forward Erick Kambale didn’t want to be left out of the party, running with the ball on the left flank and turning Busoga United FC defenders inside out before he slotted home to make it 4-0 in the 64th minute.

Express FC played out the rest of the game safely to pick up their 8th away league win of the season and 15th overall.

REACTIONS.

Wasswa Bbosa – Head Coach.

The game wasn’t an easy one, Don’t be fooled by the result, Busoga is a decent side and they have young players but we managed to catch them on the break and score the goals, We’ve been telling the players to be more behind the ball and they did it well, we’re now in a good position and now with five games to go, we’re looking at winning each game so that we stay competing”.

Godfrey Lwesibawa – Winger.

“I am so happy to have scored my first hat-trick for the club and also in my career, I am happy because we’ve worked hard, I have not scored that hat-trick alone, it was a team effort, they’ve been on my side because if you don’t work as a team you can’t get such a performance and now this game is done and we’re focusing on our next game (at home against Kitara FC)”.

The win takes the Red Eagles to 55 points at the summit of the table with five games to go. Next up for the Red Eagles is a home game against Kitara FC on Friday 21st May.
