Resurgent Express test Vipers credentials


If there is one thing to pick out of new coach George Ssimwogerere’s opening five games, it is that the team has become more resilient.

The Red Eagles have conceded two goals in addition to keeping three clean sheets in that sequence.
Tuesday’s win made it two league victories, progression to the Uganda Cup quarterfinals a draw and one loss since Ssimwogerere replaced Kefa Kisala.

That new fond resolve will again be required when they travel to Kitende to play title chasing Vipers with whom they have an axe to grind.

This is after they lost 5-0 on their previous visit last season before narrowly surviving relegation.

But after the win over Ndejje University that left Express in ninth position with 28 points, goal scorer Mubarak Nusbuga is optimistic going into the final bend of this campaign.

“On our side it has given us a challenge we want to win any game which comes our way, we don’t want to lose again we have worked on the mistakes and we have been improving,” he said after the game.

The goal against Ndejje was his third this season and the forward believes he can get more with nine league games left.

“It is not bad, I really needed it and the past 4 games I have been fighting to get a goal until today when I forced it and I know it’s not going to stop here. I have to stay focused work hard to see that I add something,” he added.
