Buddu beat Buwekula 2-0 in the 2021 Masaza Cup final held at the St.Mary’s Stadium in Kitende on Saturday.

Second half goals from Marvin Kavuma and Bruno Bunyaga gave Buddu their second Masaza crown at the fully packed St.Mary’s Stadium. They had last won the competition in 2016 at Mandela National Stadium in Namboole.

Buddu were contesting in their fifth Masaza Cup final while Buwekula were playing only their second.

Captain Kavuma gave Buddu the lead heading home a well delivered Gideon Odongo free kick.

Odongo again fed Bunyaga from another free kick to double Buddu’s advantage.
