FKFPL Unforgiving Tusker coach Robert Matano tears into referee, calls for his expulsion
Matano lambasted referee David Mulongo for his standard of officiating, swearing never to “forgive him” for his decisions and describing him as not competent enough to “even referee a Talanta Hela match".
The day before, Police had drawn first blood in the 22nd minute through Marvine Nabwire after a parry by keeper Michael Kagiri landed onto his path before expertly dispatching it home.
Their lead would be cut short just before the break when Raila Christopher restored parity for the hosts, leaving the first half even.

Maina completed the full 90 minutes but could not help Koln get a win over Mainz in a drub affair.
As the game progressed the weather took an unexpected turn. Dark clouds gathered overhead and rain started to fall heavily over the Muhoroni pitch.
Players, officials, and fans watched as the playing surface quickly turned into a waterlogged quagmire making it impossible for the beautiful game to continue.
Referee decisions are never easy, but in this instance, match officials, after consulting with both team captains, made the difficult call to halt the game.
On return starting in the 53rd minute of the match which kicked off at 12 PM, none of the sides really managed to get the better of each other, despite the fact Youth were reduced to 10 men when Erick Juma was dismissed for a second bookable offense.
