URA Taxes Police FC

Striker Cromwell Rwothomio and Shafik Kagimu were on target as the Tax Collectors won Police FC 2-0 at home in a Startimes Uganda Premier League game played at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.

Kagimu broke the deadlock in the first half after a series of failed clearances by the Police defenders, while Rwothomio raced past Henry Katongole and Denis Rukundo to complete the scoring for the visitors in the second half.

Police FC started the brightest and almost scored from their first opportunity at goal in the 13th minute but Hannington Ssebwalunyo made a brilliant save to first deny Johnson Odong before collecting Edward Kiryowa’s rebound with ease.

After a few minutes, the visitors, attempted a retaliation, but Kagimu failed to connect well with an excellent Ssali Davis cross from right.

From a break at the quarter-hour mark, Odong found himself in a one-on-one with Brian Majwega who he dribbled past but was just unable to break the deadlock, shooting way wide from the target.

The tax collectors took the lead through Shafik Kagimu in the 25th minute who reacted to a poor Tony Mawejje interception to squeeze his effort past Tom Ikara into the left bottom corner.

Steven Mukwala wasted a wonderful chance to double his side’s tally when Ashraf Mandela’s cross found him unmarked at the far post but, he miskicked and skied the ball over the goal.

Just before the halftime break, Kagimu came close to handing his side a second, but his bullet effort went meters wide of the upright.

The Cops almost levelled matters after the break, but Ssebwalunyo parried Hassan Mahmood’s freekick to a corner kick

Just past the hour mark, Mandela denied Police an equalizer, making a goal-line clearance to stop Odong’s effort after a Ssebwalunyo howler.

The Tax Collectors finally doubled their advantage through Rwothomio when he connected with Kagimu’s defence-splitting pass, racing past Henry Katongole and Denis Rukundo to slot home for URA’s second.
