Can Mbarara City Cause Express’ First Loss To Register Their First Win?

Can Mbarara City Cause Express' First Loss To Register Their First Win?

Mbarara City FC host Express at Kakyeka Stadium Mbararara, could this be an opportunity for the host to log their first success of the season?

Unlike Express FC, the Ankole Lions have suffered 2 of the 3 in previous league ties which has jabbed them in the bottom 3 places of the league standings. In the past 6 league encounters between the two sides, the Ankole Lions have defeated the Red Eagles 3 times out of 6.

Express boss Bossa has on several occasions shown his targets of finishing in the top 4 at the end of the season and of the two matches played this season, he has registered one victory with no losses.

It is very unfortunate for Mbarara City FC that they will not play their league games in the presence of head coach Brian Ssenyondo until he returns from National team U17 duties in Rwanda. The Ankole Lions have not lost at home this season and neither has Express FC.

Mbarara City FC lost 2-0 and 3-0 away to KCCA FC and SC Villa respectively whereas the Red Eagles have not lost any match away. A win for the host tomorrow is crucial but they have their work cut out as Express FC is will a hard one to crack.

Express Boss Bossa - 'My Target Is To Finish In The Top 4' — Express boss Bossa Wasswa | Photo Express FC

Express FC Coach Bossa Wasswa is confident his team will finish in the top 4 this season. He won the first home and league match today to convince that his objective can be met.

Despite going through many injuries and also missing very many clear moments to score goals, the Red Eagles achieved their victory of the season at the home grounds, Wankulukuku Stadium.

Bossa’s side capitalized on the early opportunities to take the lead with 2 goals in less than 10 minutes after Kickoff. Frank Kalanda opened the scoring with an amazing strike at the 3-minute mark followed by another 5 minutes later from Eric Kambaale.

Soltilo Bright Stars started the game with many errors in their defense but later tried to correct their mistakes and even pulled back one goal before the halftime break. Express FC, on the other hand, had very many chances that could have derived more than 2 goals to widen their lead but these all went to waste.

“What is most important is we got many chances, that is true but we managed to score two goals from these chances. We are going to go back to correct our mistakes and concentrate. Even in the first game, we scored one, followed by two in the next game so, which means we can score 3 in the next game as we continue to correct our mistakes,” said Bossa.

“First of all, we were at home. Getting 3 points at home is great. We are going back to correct our mistakes from this game but it is good to get 3 points at home and also look at the next game against Mbarara,” said Issa Lumu.

“What is most important is that I know my target and my target is to finish in the top 4. we trust all the players that we have. Winning the game was tough, Bright Stars is a good team, they have good players. If we managed to win this game even with the lack of match fitness means that every game forthcoming will bring an improvement,” Bossa Added

The Rwanda Premier League continued on Thursday with matchday 3 games. In the four games that have resulted in nine goals and three Red Cards, Etincelles FC had two red cards in one match including a special Card given to Ismael Uwihoreye.

In the 64th minute, a young Ewing Ndagijimana scored from the spot-kick to hand the visitors the lead and then 4 minutes later, Ismael Uwihoreye’s goal brought the score level pegging.

FIBA World Ranking | South Sudan tops the climbers, Rwanda among the fallers

FIBA World Ranking | South Sudan tops the climbers, Rwanda among the fallers — South Sudan Bright Stars after defeating Rwanda in last game of 2021 Afrobasket Qualifiers first window | Photo : FIBA

South Sudan moves up several spots as Rwanda drops in the latest FIBA World Ranking.

Since October 2017, FIBA has changed the way it ranks national teams, converting from the previous competition-based system to a game-based system. Today, the FIBA World Ranking has been released after the November window of the FIBA Continental Cup Qualifiers and South Sudan’s Bright Stars top the climbers worldwide.

In the rankings released this Wednesday, December 9, 2020, there has been little change for the current World Basketball top teams, only Russia climbed two spots from 11th to enter into the top 10 and got the 9th place. In Africa, there were no major changes too with Nigeria still on the top followed by Angola, Tunisia, Senegal, and Cote d’Ivoire respectively.

In the East African Region, teams like Uganda, Kenya, and South Sudan are among the climbers while Rwanda, after a poor run of results in the Group D qualifiers games played in Kigali plunges four spots.

South Sudan led by legend Luol Deng as federation president and head coach, won two games in the previously concluded Afrobasket Qualifiers window 1 to rise from 107th to 98th place. This makes the Bright Stars the best climbers in this ranking. Kenya Morans and Uganda Silverbacks have also moved forward after their impressive performances in these Qualifiers.

Despite having failed to win a single game in the qualifiers that had been played at their home arena in Kigali, Rwanda is still ranked first in East Africa. Uganda is second, South Sudan third place and fourth is Kenya followed by Burundi in fifth place.

With this new system, every game played by a national team within the last eight years in the World Cup, Olympics, continental championships, and qualifiers for these events is included in the calculations.

South Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda will be back in action in February 2021 playing Afrobasket Qualifiers window 2 where we can expect the new ranking for the men’s category. Uganda Silverbacks will rest until next week then resume non-residential training on December 15. On the other hand, Rwanda Basketball Federation with the Ministry of Sports is still in the process of replacing the resigned head coach in the last week.
