There were few positives to pick as Express slumped to their third defeat of the season after going down to traditional rivals SC Villa at the
Betway Muteesa II Stadium on Friday evening.
Some of those positives came in the performance of defender Cyrus Kibande who showed he could be an important player for the Red Eagles in his debut season at the club
The youngster again impressed with his composure on the ball, breaking up opposition attacks as well as initiating those for the home side.
He has now voiced his backing for coach George Ssimwogerere following a tough start to the season.
“I think with him things will be fine. I will play my game up to the National team level and even abroad when I’m working hard with the coaches,” the youngster who was acquired from Teranova Academy projected in an interview on the club website.
Together with his teammates he will however have been disappointed with the header the team conceded to Ambrose Kirya as they went down to a 1-0 loss.
Youngster Frank Ssenyondo also showed flashes of brilliance before he had his evening ended by a strong challenge from Villa goalkeeper Saidi Keni following a free-flowing move 10 minutes before the break.
The positive news is that he only suffered bruises to his shin and is thus expected back in time for the next league engagement.
Substitute Joshua Musoke also impressed on the day although the team will need collectively raise their performance to achieve better results.
The Villa game left Express with one win and a draw from the opening five games. They next play. Proline at Lugogo after a two week break on Tuesday October 01.
