Express FC recovered from Tuesday’s 5-2 thrashing at the hands of Ugandan Premier League champions Vipers SC to beat Maroons 2-0 at the Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
Boban Zirintusa and marksman Allan Kayiwa scored for Express to go to 34 points in 10th place on the league table. Maroons, who have enjoyed an impressive season of 10 wins out of 27 matches so far, remain fourth on 40.
This was Express’ first win since April 18 when they beat Busoga United 3-0. They have since drawn three times and lost twice. On the other hand, Maroons have won four and drawn one of their last five matches coming into this one.
