Maroons FC edged Express FC 1-0 at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, on Friday, leaving the Uganda Premier League with no undefeated teams in the 2023/24 campaign.
The Red Eagles were the only unbeaten team left in Uganda’s top-tier division after six games, coming into Friday’s encounter.
Solomon Walusimbi netted a beautiful goal from distance in the 30th minute, proving the difference between the two sides.
The game was delayed for almost half an hour because the field of play was not fully demarcated at the initial kick-off time of 4:00 pm.
Furthermore, the playing conditions could have been better for both sets of players, with a soggy surface at Wankulukuku.
Nonetheless, the Prison Warders were able to grind out maximum points, lifting them a position above their day’s opponents on the UPL standings.
