In the 11th minute. Express’ Lumu Isa went into the referee’s book for tagging on Anaku’s shirt at the center line just when the young man seemed like he had whisked away from the entire away team’s backline.
Majwega dribbled past his man and crossed in the away team’s box but custodian Otim was equal to the task. Express then made the first change of the game, Deus Bukenya replacing Lumu in the 17th minute.
With two minutes to the half hour mark, Iguma Dennis and Sadat Anaku interchanged beautifully in the Express’ box, the former’s shot flew wide with Denis Otim beaten.
