FUFA Women Super League
UCU Lady Cardinals 1-0 She Corporate
UCU Lady Cardinals had to dig deep to overcome She Corporate as the two teams faced off on Tuesday in the FUFA Women Super League.
The 2018/19 winners began their quest for a second title with a 1-0 win over Nakawa based She Corporate.
Defender Shadia Nankya struck home early into the game, capitalizing on a mistake by goalkeeper Vanessa Karungi.

UCU Lady Cardinals began on the front foot and made several inroads in the opening minutes.
Sandra Kisakye had the first attempt at goal in the 3rd minute but her strike just outside the area sailed over.
Two minutes later, Nankya struck home direct from a free kick with her powerful shot at the near post beating goalkeeper Karungi.
The towering defender also executed her defensive duties well denying Favour Nambatya who had gone through goal at the quarter hour mark.
She Corporate keep surging forward in an attempt to get the equalizer but all in vain.

In the 26th minute Nantege made a good run on the left flank but her feeble cross was easily collected by goalkeeper Ruth Aturo.
On the other hand, UCU Lady Cardinals nearly doubled their lead in the 38th minute capitalising on yet another blooper by goalkeeper Karungi.
She Corporate returned recharged after the break and got several chances to score but lacked efficiency in front.

Despite losing defender Bridget Nabisaalu who picked up an injury, they looked composed and kept asking questions.
Nantege had two clear cut chances to fire home but chose to lay up Nambatya. She was later withdrawn and replaced by Susan Atim.
Atim was unlucky after coming on with her ferocious strike ricocheting off the upright.

UCU Lady Cardinals eventually held on to scoop three points in their opening game. They will return to action on Wednesday against Lady Doves.
She Corporate on the other hand will rest for two days and play Lady Doves on Friday.
