In a fiercely contested FUFA Premier League clash on 03 October, the visiting Maroons FC beat Kampala Capital City Authority FC 2-1 at their home ground. This victory was characterized by a strong performance in front of goal, despite Kampala City FC dominating several key areas of the match statistically.

Contrary to the final outcome, Kampala City had a better statistical edge in most key parameters except goals scored. The home team dominated the corner-kick count, racking up 8 as compared to only 3 taken by Maroons FC. This dominance showed a consistent territorial edge over Maroons FC and a high attacking intent. However, despite their numerous set-piece opportunities, they were unable to convert these chances into goals, failing to translate their dominance into the match's final outcome.

Kampala City's downfall may also be attributed to the timing of their yellow cards. The home side received three yellow bookings, two of which came in the second half around the scoring of Maroons FC's winning goal. A yellow card at 01:18:25 potentially disrupted their flow and control of the game, adding unnecessary pressure just two minutes before Maroons FC’s decisive goal at 01:20:25. The third yellow card at 01:23:09 might have led to a cautious and more defensive approach, impacting their search for an equalizer.

In terms of goals, Maroons FC were more clinical. Opening their tally just 24 minutes into the first half set the tone of their attack. Although Kampala City were able to even out the score right before halftime, a goal by Maroons deep into the second half ultimately decided the match. Maroons FC's ability to maintain their performance levels, and score crucial goals at strategic points during the game, no doubt contributed significantly to their win, regardless of having less edge statistically.

Both sides were caught offside 3 times each, reflecting the high defensive line and the flurry of counter-attacks from both ends of the pitch. The yellow card count was also evenly matched, with 3 bookings for both teams, indicating a fairly contested match in terms of discipline and physicality on the pitch.

To conclude, although Kampala City Authority FC controlled significant aspects of the match, Maroons FC's effective scoring made all the difference in this encounter. This victory for the Maroons reiterates the crucial nature of taking scoring opportunities in football, even when statistically outplayed.
