2025/26 Uganda Premier League
- SC Villa 3-0 URA
SC Villa put on a confident, commanding display on Thursday, easing past URA 3–0 at the FUFA Stadium in Kadiba to revive their Uganda Premier League campaign.
From the first whistle, the Jogoos looked sharper, hungrier, and determined to make a statement and by full-time, they had climbed back to second place on the log.
Villa showed intent early when Frank Ssebufu went down in the box in the 13th minute, prompting loud penalty shouts. The referee waved play on, but Villa kept pushing.
URA banked on Justine Opiro’s long throw-ins to create trouble, yet Villa’s backline stayed composed and dealt with every threat.
Their discipline paid off in the 22nd minute when Diego Missi Ssemugera capitalized on a costly error.
URA goalkeeper Chrispus Kusiima spilled a routine free kick, leaving Ssemugera with a simple finish to put Villa ahead.
URA nearly responded 10 minutes later with a curling effort that beat the goalkeeper but rattled the frame, summing up their luck on the afternoon.
At halftime, URA replaced Kusiima, whose mistake had opened the scoring with Muhamad Ssekkeba, but the switch did little to settle things.
Soon after the restart, Najib Yiga punished URA again. He unleashed a fierce drive that slipped through Ssekkeba’s grasp to make it 2–0, leaving Villa firmly in control.
The Tax Collectors’ problems deepened in the 70th minute when Frank Mulimi sealed the result.
His shot took a heavy deflection, wrong footing the goalkeeper and nestling into the net for Villa’s third.
The win lifts SC Villa to 20 points from 10 matches, an important boost as they keep pace in the title race.
URA stay ninth on 11 points and will leave Kadiba with plenty to fix after a difficult afternoon.
