In a thrilling encounter in Jinja, David Bagoole emerged as the hero for Gaddafi, scoring two crucial goals late in the game to secure a comeback victory against a struggling Express FC, edging them closer to survival.
The match began with an early lead for the hosts, as Frank Mulimi converted a penalty within two minutes. However, Express FC swiftly responded, with Marvin Oshaba equalizing just five minutes later before adding another goal to put the Red Eagles in the lead by the 14th minute.
Despite Express FC’s initial dominance, their fortunes took a turn for the worse as Gaddafi mounted a spirited comeback. With just twelve minutes remaining, Bagoole leveled the scoreline, setting the stage for a dramatic finish. In the dying moments of the game, Bagoole struck again, securing a crucial victory for the hosts in the 90th minute.
The result sees Gaddafi move level on points (25) with Busoga United, although they remain in the relegation zone due to an inferior head-to-head record. However, their survival hopes are still alive, contingent on both Busoga United and UPDF faltering in their respective matches against BUL and Wakiso Giants.
