Lady Doves have secured their slot into the semi-final playoffs of this year’s FUFA Women Super League after earning a precious point in the goalless stalemate against She Corporate on Friday.
Despite being on the back foot for larger spells of the game, Lady Doves fought on until the final whistle to get a point.
They had goalkeeper and captain Daisy Nakaziro to thank after brilliant performance on the day, denying their opponents on numerous occasions.
She denied Favour Nambatya twice, Noeline Namiiro too came close but she stood tall while Janat Thungu had a goal at her mercy but Nakaziro recovered to snatch the ball away.
She Corporate were equally unlucky on the day with two of their efforts ricocheting off the woodwork. Susan Atim saw her effort slam onto the crossbar while Phiona Nabbumba’s well curled free kick also hit the upright.
On the other hand, She Corporate goalkeeper Vanessa Karungi was called out twice, first parrying away Fazila Ikwaput’s low drive before denying Elizabeth Nakigozi at the near post.
The result means Lady Doves go through on 8 points while UCU Lady Cardinals (6), Olila High School (4) and She Corporate (4) all have a point to secure the second playoff slot in group 2.
Group 2 will come to a climax on Saturday with UCU Lady Cardinals while Isra Soccer Academy will be up against She Corporate.
Hasifa Nassuna was instrumental as UCU Lady Cardinals dug deep to overcome a resilient Isra Soccer Academy side in the first game on Friday.
The lethal forward and skipper of the 2019 Winners scored a brace while Teddy Najjuma added the other to guide their team to a 3-0 win.
The brace took Nassuna’s goal tally in the League to 91 since 2015 while she was at Kawempe Muslim Ladies.
Isra Soccer Academy proved a hard nut to crack and marched UCU Lady Cardinals for the larger part of the game.
However, their resolve was broken in the 79th minute when defender Flavia Nalwanga failed to clear the ball and instead gifted to Nassuna who did no mistake to fire home.
Three minutes later, midfielder Teddy Najjuma jumped high to node home from a corner thus doubling UCU Lady Cardinals’ lead.
Nassuna once again appeared on the score sheet, scoring at the death of the clock as the team marched to victory.
UCU Lady Cardinals now move to 6 points in three games and will face Olila High School on Saturday for their final group game.
On the other hand, Isra Soccer Academy who have conceded 11 goals will end the group fixtures against She Corporate.

UCU Lady Cardinals started on the front foot and had several opportunities but failed to stretch their lead.
Ikwaput who was silent in the opening stages of the game made a perfect running to capitalize on a miscommunication between defender Shadia Nankya and goalkeeper Ruth Aturo to poke home.
Nankya and Aturo failed to clear the ball and the lethal forward ran in between to round off the goalkeeper and slot into an empty net.
Madam Christine and Nabirah Nakitto close down Sandra Kisakye.
In the second half, Lady Doves greatly improved with Riticia Nabbosa taking charge of the midfield and always looking for Ikwaput with long balls.

Incumbent Federation of Uganda Football Association president Moses Hashim Magogo’s bid to continue as the head of Uganda’s football governing body received a huge boost on Saturday after delegates of one of Uganda’s biggest footballing region, West-Nile unanimously agreed to support him in the August polls.
Sitting at Yumbe District Headquarters for the Regional Football Association Elective Assembly, the delegates boldly declared their support for Eng. Magogo.
‘The current FUFA president has done a lot for our football and it would be betrayal of the highest order not to support him. Under his stewardship, we have registered tremendous progress in youth football development, women football development and general football development. Governance has also greatly improved that’s why you see women like us are today sitting here to make football decisions for the whole of West-Nile and the country at large.’ disclosed Ms Joan Giramia, one of the delegates elected to represent the region in the national assembly.
