In a decisive Buganda Masaza Cup 2025 match, Bulemeezi defeated Buvuma 1-0, completing a “double” over the island team. The game, played on Saturday, August 16, took place at Mukono Bishop under wet conditions.
Buvuma was forced to host the match away from their home ground, Magyo Ssaza, as a result of disciplinary action for fan misconduct during their previous home game against Bugerere.
The lone goal of the match came in the first half from Sadat Mukembo, who capitalized on a defensive error by Buvuma’s backline. This marked Bulemeezi’s first goal from open play this season and secured their second victory of the campaign.
The win brings Bulemeezi’s total to 8 points from seven games, helping them turn their season around and keep their hopes alive for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Bulemeezi’s assistant coach, Calvin Peter Mugerwa, praised his team’s character, stating, “Our season is coming back to life. We are still going harder, and next we are visiting Mawokota where we don’t have to lose.”
For Buvuma, the loss leaves them at the bottom of the Masengere group with five points from seven games. Head coach Isma Ndawula acknowledged the team’s difficult position, suggesting that reaching the quarterfinals would now be a “miracle.”
