Stanbic Uganda Cup semifinal return leg
NEC FC 2-0 BUL FC (3-1)
NEC FC cruised to their maiden Stanbic Uganda Cup final with a 2-0 win over BUL FC in the return leg of their semifinal at Lugogo on Saturday.
NEC prevail to the final 3-1 on aggregate following their 1-1 stalemate with BUL FC in the first leg.
First half goals from Joseph Dhata and Rwothomio Cromwell secured a slot for NEC FC into this year’s final.
This was Dhata’s sixth goal in the Uganda Cup and 12th across all competitions.
BUL FC were the only former winners left in the competition and their exit means a new champion will be crowned this term.
Abbey Kikomeko’s side will now turn focus on the Uganda Premier league where they are currently at the summit with 49 points.
NEC now await the winner between Kitara FC or Pajule Lions who will face off in the return leg on Sunday.
Kitara lead 3-1 on aggregate courtesy of their first leg triumph in Masindi last weekend.
