Joseph Dhata takes home “Zakayo” After A Superb Performance

On the 20th of February 2024, NEC Football Club showcased class at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo, defeating Acholi United Football Club 5-1 in a Stanbic Bank Uganda Cup match.
Joseph Dhata stole the spotlight by netting a hat trick, contributing significantly to NEC’s commanding victory and securing his claim to the coveted “Zakayo” match ball.

The hosts, NEC, demonstrated superior control from the start, taking advantage of the unfamiliar artificial surface that seemed to trouble Acholi United throughout the game.
Dhata’s powerful shot in the 13th minute set the tone for NEC’s dominance, with subsequent goals from Gaddafi Wahabu and Captain Marvin Kavuma securing a comfortable 4-0 lead at halftime.

With this impressive win, NEC Football Club advances to the round of 16, eagerly anticipating their next opponent determined by a draw.
