The 2020/21 FUFA Women Super League officially kicked off at the FUFA Technical Center in Njeru with Uganda Martyrs Lubaga taking on Makerere University in a 9am kick off.

Uganda Martyrs needed a 70th minute penalty through Kevin Nakachwa to win all three points.

Nakachwa converted from the spot after her teammate Anitah Namata was brought down by Stella Namisango in the box.

Prior to the winning goal, Makerere University jealously defended the scoreline while Uganda Martyrs struggled to break the deadlock.

The Lubaga school side had early chances through Latifa Nakasi, Catherine Nagadya and Spencer Nakachwa but failed to convert any.

Makerere University also had attempts through Amina Nababi, Jemima Twesigye and Rebecca Nakasaato but neither could find target.

The slim but crucial victory temporarily took Uganda Martyrs to the top of the Group 1 table while Kawempe Muslim Ladies take on Kampala Queens in the second game of the day.

Uganda Martyrs will play against Kawempe tomorrow while Makerere University will take on newbies Tooro Queens.
