Kikomeko also noted that most of the key players at BUL FC were former players of Busoga United and both sides knew each other’s style of play.
“We are on top of the league and every team comes big and ready for us, therefore, we have resolved to equally plan uniquely for every game ahead of us, to maintain our tight grip on the trophy,” he said.
Meanwhile, Busoga’s head coach, Peter Onen said that their side not only created more goal-scoring opportunities than their guests, but they also dominated the game.
“We studied our opponent well and our game plan inclined on dominating the game, however, in football, there is luck, and irrespective of how good you’re, without luck, you can’t win and that’s how we lost,” Onen said.
