Yesterday 10th July 2022, Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) held its last University Football League (UFL) group match.
MUST hosted Makerere University in a highly competitive game in which MUST hoped to revenge against Makerere for the loss it suffered in the first leg.
The first half of the game went on smoothly with a goal netted on each side, Emma and Sadat scored for MUST and Makerere respectively.
According to reports from MUST sports department, during the second half, MUST players and supporters started complaining over intentional attacks on their players and the referees remained silent about it.
The situation became worse when a player from the host team was shown a straight red card ordering him to vacate the pitch immediately.
Home team Players and supporters protested against the incident which caused a standstill in the game for about 20 minutes on allegations that the lines man and centre referee didn’t coordinate properly.
Few minutes later after negotiations between the team captains, match officials and MUST sports department, the game resumed and the red card was not withdrawn.
The match continued with the host team dominating the game however it registered its fourth loss to Makerere with 3 goals to one.
