FT: Gaddafi FC 6-2 Paidha Black Angels SC
Venue: Kyabazinga Stadium, Bugembe
Paidha Black Angels SC have today 6th June 2021 confirmed their fate for next season after losing to the Soldier boys in the game played today at Kyabazinga Stadium in Jinja.
They came into today’s game with only 5 points at the bottom of the table and 8 points from the second last Calvary FC so the only way they could have survived relegation was winning today’s game which they didn’t manage.
Gaddafi FC started the game in a high mood as they were also aiming for the top spot and in the 9th minute, a penalty was awarded to them which was later successfully converted by Mark Bamukyaye in the 10th minute after he had missed an open chance in the 4th minute.
Gaddafi FC continued their pressing game and Paidha Black Angels couldn’t handle it, which resulted in an own goal in the 17th minute extending the lead to 2 goals.
Mulimi Frank stretched the lead further to 3-0 in the 28th minute which triggered Paidha Black Angels to respond by pulling one back through Kilama Dickson five minutes before the halftime break.
Gaddafi FC made a double substitution in the 71st minute with Kawagga Godwin and Bithum Ronald replacing Mulimi Frank and Obele Ronald.
Substitute Bithum Ronald added some pace on the frontline which resulted in a penalty after the goalkeeper fouled him in the box 6 minutes after he stepped on the turf and Otim James made no mistake by successfully converting the penalty to make it 4-1.
As Paidha Black Angels were still disorganized in their defence Munguchi Steven caught them off track again and netted the 5th goal of the day just two minutes after conceding the fourth goal.
In the 85th minute, Otim James doubled his score to make it 6-1 for Gaddafi FC and Kilama Dickens converted a penalty for Paidha’s second goal to mark the final score 6-2.
