Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC defeated She Corporate 2–0 on Sunday on Matchday 15 of the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League to climb to the top of the table.

The match, played on a soggy pitch following a heavy downpour, saw goals from Jovia Nakagolo and Kevin Nanyunja secure an important victory for Kawempe.

Coming into the fixture, Kawempe trailed She Corporate by two points. However, the win means they have now defeated their rivals both home and away this season, moving one point ahead to reclaim the summit.

Kickoff, originally scheduled for 10 a.m., was delayed due to the rain, but the match eventually got underway with both sides battling for top spot.

She Corporate nearly took the lead early in the match when striker Jesca Namanda’s effort struck the crossbar.

Kawempe broke the deadlock in the ninth minute when striker Jovia Nakagolo capitalized on a miscommunication between the She Corporate goalkeeper and her defender, calmly tapping the ball home to give the hosts the lead.

She Corporate pushed for an equalizer before the break, with defender Sumaya Komuntale coming close, but her effort narrowly missed the target.

Nakagolo and Asia Nakibuka also had chances to double Kawempe’s advantage, but neither could find the back of the net as the hosts carried a slender 1–0 lead into halftime.

Four minutes into the second half, former Kawempe Muslim striker Rebecca Nakato nearly leveled the score for She Corporate, forcing goalkeeper Saidat Namwanje to produce a spectacular save from a free kick outside the box.

She Corporate’s hopes of a comeback were dealt a major blow when goalkeeper Molly Naava received a straight red card for handling the ball outside the penalty area, reducing her side to 10 players and shifting the momentum firmly in Kawempe’s favor.

Substitute Kevin Nanyunja sealed the victory for the Valley Warriors with a second goal just four minutes before the final whistle, sparking wild celebrations among the home supporters.

In the first meeting between the two sides this season in Njeru, Kawempe also won 2–0, courtesy of a brace from Latifah Nakasi.

Ayub Khalifah coached side are now on top of the table with 36 points, while She Corporate drop to second place with 35 points.

Kawempe Muslim will next face Amus College away on Saturday, March 21, while She Corporate will host Makerere University WFC on the same day.
