The weekend in the Big League was eventful, with a standout controversy between Kataka and Kaaro Karungi taking center stage at Mbale Municipal Stadium.
In the 84th minute, with the game seemingly headed for a goalless draw, Kataka was awarded a goal when Michael Olinga’s effort was controversially deemed to have crossed the line.
The ball’s position remained inconclusive, leading to heated protests from Kaaro Karungi’s players.
Tensions rose to the point that the match was abandoned shortly after, intensifying calls for improved officiating standards in the league.
Blacks Power Takes the Top Spot
Elsewhere, Blacks Power claimed the league’s top position by narrowly defeating Kigezi Homeboys 1-0 at Akii Bua Stadium, with Michael Siwu’s goal making the difference.
This win places Blacks Power level with Booma on 13 points but with a slightly better goal difference.
Booma was held to a 1-1 draw with Kiyinda Boys, keeping the race at the top tight.
Struggles Continue for Busoga United and Arua Hill
Busoga United and MYDA remain winless this season, with Busoga managing only a 0-0 draw against Onduparaka at Kyabazinga Stadium.
Both teams are lingering at the bottom of the standings, putting pressure on their campaigns early on.
Similarly, Arua Hill has struggled to find form, falling 2-0 to Calvary at Pece Stadium.
Both Busoga and Arua Hill are now stuck with just four points, making the fight to climb up the standings more challenging as the season progresses.
