The Buganda Masaza Cup group stage returned on August 9 with a goalless draw between Mawokota and Kyadondo. The match, played at Nakivubo Stadium, was a cagey affair with few scoring opportunities for either side, ending in a 0-0 stalemate.
This result marks the second time the two teams have drawn this season. Referee Asadu Ssemeere had a quiet game, as the match was largely without incident.
The lack of goalmouth action was highlighted by the goalkeepers’ performances: Kyadondo’s Ashiraf Bwabye made two crucial saves, while Mawokota’s Ronald Kalungi was only called upon to make one.
Standings and Qualification Outlook
The draw has significant implications for the group standings. Mawokota now has nine points from six games and sits in second place, just one point behind table leaders Buweekula, who has a game in hand.
Mawokota remains a strong contender for a spot in the quarterfinals, but they face stiff competition from Buweekula, Bugerere, and Bulemeezi for a top-two finish.
For Kyadondo, the result is a major setback. With six points from six games, their chances of qualifying for the next round are now slim.
