Defending champions Kampala Queens were held to a second consecutive draw in the FUFA Women Super League, this time failing to score against Rines SS WFC on matchday 13.
The match, played at MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo on Sunday morning, saw Kampala Queens dominate possession but struggle to find the back of the net.
Queens of Soccer had several chances in the first half, with Docus Nabuufu, Lillian Kasuubo, and Shamirah Nalugya all coming close.
Rines Goalkeeper Shines
Rines goalkeeper Bridget Nansamba was in inspired form, denying numerous attempts from the hosts. She parried away a dangerous freekick from Nalugya and Esther Namusoke’s rebounding header went wide in the first half.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Teddy Najjuma, Zaina Nandede, and Florence Imanizabayo all thwarted by Nansamba.
A late goal from substitute Imanizabayo was disallowed for offside in the dying minutes, handing Rines a hard-fought point against the reigning champions.
Rines Move Up the Table
Despite failing to get their first ever win over Kamapala Queens, Rines earned a point that helped them to go to sixth position with 13 points, two clear of the relegation zone.
Coach Bright Nyanzi Taddeo praised his team for their tactical execution and fighting spirit.
Kampala Queens Look Ahead
Kampala Queens remain in second place with 25 points, three behind leaders Kawempe Muslim. Coach Charles Ayiekoh acknowledged his side’s missed opportunities but credited Rines’ strong defensive display.
Both teams turn their attention to their next fixtures on Wednesday, April 10th – Kampala Queens host Asubo Ladies, while Rines travel to She Maroons.
