Maroons FC secured their second consecutive win by defeating Busoga United 3-0 in a Uganda Premier League match held at the Prisons Ground, Luzira.

Busoga United finished the match with only nine men after Charles Mulanda and Hussein Ssajjabi were sent off in the second half.

Maroons got off to a strong start with Fred Amaku scoring twice early on, first from a well-coordinated play with Ronald Orombi and then from a precise Fred Kigozi cross.

Abraham Tusubira added the third goal just before halftime, assisted by Amaku, who had bypassed the Busoga United defense.

The second half saw increased tensions, leading to the dismissal of Busoga United’s captain for a harsh foul on Jacob Okao.

Then, shortly, Ssajjabi wa shown a second yellow card for a foul on Darius Ojok.

Despite their numerical advantage, Maroons could not add to their tally.

After 24 games, Maroons are now sixth in the league standings with 38 points. Busoga United remains 14th with 18 points after 23 games.
