Match day 10 of the Futsal League was highlighted by the tie between the top two teams of the moment, Park and Crown FC.

The two lived to the pre-match expectations as they played to a thrilling 2-2 draw in a hugely attended encounter at the International Futsal Courts in Mengo.

Park who were dealt by the absence of their red hot talisman Joseph Bukenya Kizza, rallied on two occasions through their captain Babu Iddi.

Islam Semakula and Abdiaziiz Abdullahi Abdi were on target for Crown but had themselves to blame for throwing away their lead twice in the second half.

The growing intensity of the game also saw Park reduced to four men following the sending off of goalkeeper Mubiru Given due to unsporting behavior towards the closing stages.

The result left the top of the table intact with Park leading on 20 points, one more than the second placed Crown.
