Meanwhile, Busoga’s head coach, Peter Onen said that their side not only created more goal-scoring opportunities than their guests, but they also dominated the game.

“We studied our opponent well and our game plan inclined on dominating the game, however, in football, there is luck, and irrespective of how good you’re, without luck, you can’t win and that’s how we lost,” Onen said.
