*NEC 1-1 Vipers
*KCCA 3-3 Kitara
Kitara’s Denis Omedi produced a moment of magic as his team drew 3-3 with KCCA at Lugogo, advancing to the FUFA Super Eight semifinals.
After conceding early to Joel Sserunjogi’s precise shot, Kitara swiftly equalized with a goal that will be remembered for ages.
In the 10th minute, Omedi, found himself at a tight angle after beating Hassan Mohamood, before executing a stunning rabona.
He twisted his right leg behind his standing left leg, sending the ball curling into the far corner past a stunned KCCA goalkeeper, Anthony Emojong.
Watch goal here:
Many have hailed this goal as one of the finest ever seen on Ugandan soil.
Omedi’s impact didn’t stop there. He assisted Jude Ssemugabi, who put Kitara ahead 2-1.
However, KCCA responded when Bright Anukani converted a penalty after Etienne Katenga was fouled in the box.
Just five minutes into the second half, Omedi again set up Ssemugabi for a close-range tap-in, restoring Kitara’s lead.
KCCA’s Mohamood later equalized with a header, but the team couldn’t find the two additional goals needed to progress.
Kitara edged KCCA 4-3 on aggregate, having won the first leg 1-0 at Lugogo.
Kitara now awaits the winner of the Maroons versus defending champions BUL to determine their semifinal opponent.
