The FUFA Premier League clash between home side Kitara FC and away side Kampala Capital City Authority FC on 20 October 2023 was a spectacle characterised by tactical competitiveness and disciplined defence, ending with Kitara FC securing a convincing 3-1 victory.

Upon analysis of the pertinent data factors like goals, assists, shots on target and off, corner kicks, fouls, and cards, it becomes clear that the pivotal moment in the game came early in each half of the match. Kitara FC capitalized on these defining moments to take a decisive advantage despite being outnumbered in corner kicks and closely matched on yellow cards.

Kitara FC scored their first goal just over 43 minutes into the first half, which set them an advantageous position early in the game and unsettled the Kampala Capital City Authority FC's composure. The second goal coming just a few minutes into the second half put Kitara FC in a commanding position.

There were momentary lapses of discipline from both sides, indicated by the issued yellow cards. Although both teams displayed a similar level of aggression (with Kitara FC receiving two yellow cards and Kampala FC receiving three), the timing of these cards perhaps shows why Kampala Capital City Authority FC trailed.

Kampala FC’s first yellow card came only 13 minutes into the game which might have disrupted their game plan and put them under pressure early on. Two more yellow cards, one late first half and another early in the second half, further put them on the defensive and perhaps made them susceptible to the two goals scored by Kitara FC during those periods.

Having received their first yellow card later in the first half, Kitara FC appears to have handled their disciplinary issue better.

Despite the dominance in corner kicks from Kampala FC with six against Kitara's two, Kitara FC seem to have been more efficient in their offensive plays. The lack of conversion of set-pieces into goals by Kampala FC definitely hurt their potential comeback.

On the contrary, despite receiving fewer corner kicks, Kitara FC maximized their goal opportunities, reinforcing their efficient offence. The equal number of offside calls for both teams (1 each) indicates that both teams were aggressive in pushing the opposition’s defensive line, but it was Kitara FC who proved more successful.

All in all, Kitara FC's triumph can be accredited to their inclined efficiency in front of goal and their better management of discipline. Their goals' timing contributed significantly to their foes' inability to turn the tide in their favor despite the increased number of corner kicks and an equal amount of offside plays.
