YUMBE — Calvary FC and Express FC played out a goalless draw in a hard-fought Uganda Premier League encounter at the Midigo Primary School playground on Wednesday.
Despite high expectations from the home crowd, both sides lacked the clinical edge required to break the deadlock, resulting in a frustrating afternoon for the Red Eagles and the top-tier newcomers.
Key Match Moments
The hosts started with intent as Simon Odeke found an early opening, but his effort sailed over the bar. Express responded through Elvis Ssekajugo, who failed to capitalize on a defensive lapse by Calvary’s Eric Otingcwinyu, dragging his shot wide.
Calvary’s best chance fell to Lawrence Olaboro, whose goal-bound strike was heroically cleared off the line by Express defender Ashraf Mbazira. In the dying embers of the second half, Odeke again found himself in a scoring position, but his powerful effort was thwarted by a fine save from Express custodian Khassim Hafizu.
