In a heart-pounding 34-minute slugfest, Yudaya Nakayenze threw a curveball in the 35th minute, slamming the ball into the net off Samalie Nakachwa’s killer corner kick. That move was a real game-changer, laying the foundation for their total domination.
In the thick of the brawl, Nakayenze flirted with doubling Kawempe’s score, but her shot had a tender moment with the post, only to be swatted away by Makerere University’s goalie, Sharifah Kitali, who pulled off a slick double save, putting the brakes on the valley warriors. As the first half wrapped up, Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC was lounging with a cushy lead.
In the 48th minute, Yudaya Nakayenze turned up the heat, doubling Kawempe’s lead with a powerhouse shot. Makerere University’s custodian, Sharifah Kitali, tried to pull a rabbit out of the hat in goal, but her efforts fell short. The scoreboard was now vibing to Kawempe’s sweet victory tune.
Makerere pulled off a resurrection act in the 84th minute, courtesy of Sharon Namatovu’s slick back-heel finish, before Daphine Nalubowa leveled the playing field for Makerere University with a well-taken free kick following a foul by Samalie Nakachwa on Sharon Namatovu, completing their epic comeback.
