University Football League
- MMU 0-0 UNIK
Mountains of the Moon University (MMU) launched their University Football League campaign with a composed 0–0 draw away to the University of Kisubi (UNIK) on Saturday.
In their first-ever league match, the Fort Portal side absorbed early pressure before taking control after halftime.
UNIK had the best early chances but couldn’t break through MMU’s disciplined defence.
Goalkeeper Amos Kizito kept the hosts level with four key second-half saves as MMU pressed for a winner.
“We played well and managed a draw,” MMU head coach Nyakairu Solomon said. “Our target is the quarter-finals, and we’ll work with the university to get there.”
UNIK coach Jessy Lukoki admitted his team failed to capitalise. “We had chances to win but didn’t take them. Their aerial play tested us, but a point isn’t bad to start with,” he noted.
Both sides sit level in Group A, which also includes defending champions Uganda Martyrs University and two-time winners Kampala University, who drew 0–0 on Thursday.
League action continues Sunday when Kampala International University hosts Mbarara University of Science and Technology at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo.
