Winger Godfrey Lwesibawa scored a priceless second half goal to inspire Tooro United to a hard fought 1-0 win over Mbarara City in Fort Portal.

The Tooro United number 10. capitalized on a rushed decision made by Mbarara City goalkeeper Tom Ikara to score the lone goal that separated either sides in a closely contested encounter.

The match winning moment came in the 72nd minute when Lwesibawa received a long pass from Paddy Muhumuza before slotting the ball past an on-rushing Ikara who tried to close him down on the right flank.

Besides the goal scored, the match barely gave the crowds at St. Paul’s Seminary ground something to smile about. No clear goal scoring attempts were witnessed on a chilly evening.

Among the spectators on the day was Wasswa Bbosa who recently resigned from his post as the Tooro United head coach on Tuesday this week.

Tooro United were under the tutelage of Eric Ndifuna and Sam Kawalya who were serving as Bbosa’s assistants previously.

Lwesibawa together with teammate Musa Mukasa and Mbarara City’s Ivan Eyam were the only players cautioned by referee Rajab Bakasambe.

The result also meant that Paul Nkata has only managed one win, one draw and lost three games while prowling in the Mbarara City dug out.

Tooro United are now 11th with 13 points while Mbarara City are two places below on nine points garnered from 10 outings.

The Ankole Lions will hope to halt their winless run when they host Bright Stars on Wednesday November 6th.

Tooro United will visit SC Villa on the same day.
