HISTORY MADE: WHY UGANDA CRANES USED THREE GOALKEEPERS IN A SINGLE AFCON NIGHTMARE
Uganda’s AFCON run ends in a 3-1 defeat to Nigeria. The Cranes used three goalkeepers in a match that saw Salim Magoola sent off.
Uganda's run at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is over after a tough 3-1 loss to Nigeria. They didn't win a single game and are out after the group stage. Nigeria finished top of Group C with 9 points, while Uganda ended up last with only 1 point. Uganda had trouble scoring and let in the most goals, showing they still have a ways to go.
Nigeria came out strong, keeping Uganda pinned back. Their pressure paid off when Paul Onuachu scored in the 28th minute after a great pass from Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, putting Nigeria ahead.
Uganda couldn't get into the game and barely created any chances. Karl Uche Ikpeazu was isolated up front. They wasted several set-piece opportunities, and captain Denis Onyango had to make a bunch of saves. He even needed treatment a few times before being subbed out at halftime.
Things got worse in the 57th minute when Onyango's replacement, Salim Jamal Magoola, got a red card for handling the ball outside the box while trying to stop Victor Osimhen. Uganda was down to ten men.
Nafian Alionzi came in, making Uganda the first team in the tournament to use three goalkeepers in one game.
Nigeria took advantage of the situation, and Raphael Onyedika scored twice in the 62nd and 66th minutes, making it 3-0. Game over for Uganda.
Uganda managed to pull one back in the 75th minute when Rogers Kassim Mato scored after a nice play with Allan Okello. It got the 11,545 fans excited, but Nigeria just slowed the game down and won easily.
With this win, Nigeria finished Group C undefeated. Uganda finished last, having let in the most goals in the group.
In the other game, Tanzania drew 1-1 with Tunisia. This meant that both teams, along with Nigeria, moved on. Tanzania made it to the Round of 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.
Uganda lost 3-1 to Tunisia, drew 1-1 with Tanzania, and lost 3-1 to Nigeria. They're still waiting for their first-ever win in the AFCON finals.
For head coach Joseph Paul Put, the tournament had some good moments, but it also showed that Uganda needs to be more consistent, disciplined, and clinical to compete at the highest level.
TITLE RACE HEAT: HOW VIPERS DROPPING HOME POINTS GIVES KITARA A CHANCE TO STRIKE
Vipers SC stay top of the UPL with 38 points! Discover how Warren Buule’s equaliser for NEC FC shook up the title race at Kitende.
NEC are stuck in seventh place with 24 points from 17 games. Vipers, even after dropping home points for just the second time this season, hang on to the top spot with 38.
Honestly, NEC have drawn more games than they'd like, nine out of 17. That’s a lot of stalemates in the Startimes Uganda Premier League. But this time, their 1-1 draw away to the reigning champs, Vipers, felt like more than just another point. It actually meant something, especially under the lights at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende on Tuesday evening.
Vipers came out flying. They grabbed the lead early and pretty much ran the first half. Six minutes in, Milton Karisa latched onto a slick through ball from Karim Watambala and curled a lovely left-footed shot past NEC keeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo. That was Karisa’s sixth goal of the season, and for a minute there, it looked like the Vipers were about to run riot, just like they did in their 4-0 demolition of Buhimba last time at home.
NEC looked shaky. Coach Badru Kaddu had seen enough and made two early changes, bringing on Shamir Kimwero and Joseph Dhata for Rashid Kawawa and Daniel Shabene inside 25 minutes. The switch helped steady things, but NEC didn’t really come to life until the second half.
Then, with 15 minutes left, substitute Emmanuel Kulanga swung in a cross, and Warren Buule was there at the far post to head in the equaliser. That goal was well earned; NEC were much better after the break. Richard Basangwa, playing up front, kept his old team busy and even got Bady Da Silva and Enoch Ssebagala booked. Ssebagala didn’t last much longer, getting subbed off after a rough tackle on his former side.
NEC has been busy in the mid-season transfer window. They’ve already added six new faces, and more are on the way. Sam Ssekamatte, who scored five goals for UPDF in the first round, watched from the stands with the rest of the unused squad.
So, NEC holds on to seventh, Vipers stay top, but Kitara could shake things up if they beat URA on Thursday. This title race isn’t done yet.
POWER SHIFT: CITY OILERS RECLAIM DOMINANCE WITH 74-65 VICTORY OVER DEFENDING CHAMPIONS
City Oilers make a statement! Discover how new signings Joel Lukoji and Landry Ndikumana dismantled the defending NBL champions.
Ndikumana didn’t just show up—he made sure everyone knew he was back in Uganda, dropping 17 points, grabbing eight boards, and tossing three assists.
For the first time ever, City Oilers find themselves chasing instead of leading the pack in the National Basketball League. Last season, they handed over their championship crown to the Namuwongo Blazers, losing the finals 4-2. That loss stung.
Now, the Blazers are the top dogs everyone wants to knock off. But on opening night, the Oilers got their revenge, handing Stephen Nyeko’s squad their first loss of the season.
From the jump, the ten-time champs looked sharp. They ran the Blazers ragged and made a statement—this team isn’t done yet.
The Oilers’ new signings—Ndikumana, Joel Lukoji, and Joel Kayiira—gave a taste of why the team is so hyped for this season. Ndikumana, the former MVP, shot three-of-seven from deep and four-of-eight overall as the Oilers took down their rivals 74-65.
The Oilers had a plan for the Blazers: steal their best player. They signed last season’s MVP, Lukoji, and he torched his old team for 12 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.
Andrew Tendo’s squad started strong, leading 18-10 after the first quarter and holding a 35-32 edge at halftime. In the third, they blew the game open with an 18-8 run, quieting the Blazers fans.
Late in the game, Henry Ssebagala knocked down back-to-back threes for the Blazers, making the score look a little closer, but the Oilers were in control all night.
Baale lit it up.
Fayed Baale, wearing the legendary number 8 jersey—famous because of Ugandan basketball icon Ben Komakech—put on a show of his own. Komakech, now Tendo’s assistant and also coaching at KCCA Leopards, watched as Baale took over, pouring in 20 points and hitting four threes.
Whenever the Blazers tried to make a run, the Oilers’ point guards answered, keeping their team ahead. Captain Titus Lual came off the bench and chipped in with 12 points and seven rebounds.
The Blazers weren’t at full strength. They missed three starters from last year: Lukoji left for the Oilers, Tonny Drileba is injured, and Anthony Chukwurah hasn’t arrived from Nigeria. The champs struggled, plain and simple. Only Peter Obleng (11 points) and Moses Mugisha (10) hit double figures.
Earlier, the season tipped off with the JT Lady Jaguars crushing the Pearl Queens 74-29. That one was never close.
