The second half was more evenly contested, but neither team was able to find a breakthrough.
The match went to penalties, and Kawempe Muslim converted four penalties out of the six taken. Kawempe’s Halima Kampi and Hadijah Babirye failed to convert.
Latifah Nakasi, Auki Angel and Kiiza Moureen failed to score for Uganda Martyrs and Kawempe won 4-3 on penalties to win the championship.
The win is Kawempe Muslim’s first Buganda Schools Cup title in girls football since 2019.
