MATCH REPORT: ONDUPARAKA 2-0 BUL FC

Goals from John Rogers Okumu made it a frustrating evening for the Eastern Giants as Onduparaka came out 2-0 winners at the Green Light Stadium in Arua.

It was a better start for BUL in terms of possession but they rarely found away passed Mathias Okello in Onduparaka’s goal on Tuesday.

Ibrahim Mugulusi’s well taken corner was cleared in the early moments of the game before Okello punched out another by Ibrahim Kazindula midway the first half.

The hosts improved marginally going forward and almost took the lead on 19 minutes when Nathan Oloro swung in a cross but Williams Gama was seconds late to connect.

They however did break the deadlock soon through John Rogers Okumu seven minutes to the break.

And despite coach Simeon Masaba calling changes to his side after the break, Onduparaka stretched their lead as Okumu completed his brace on 53 minutes and this proved to be the final stroke despite all the efforts from BUL to overturn the fortunes.

The Eastern Giants have remained third on the table despite the result with 30 points, ten behind leaders SC Villa after 20 matches.

The next outing will be against Express on Saturday at FUFA technical centre in Njeru.
