In a thrilling StarTimes Uganda Premier League encounter, Maroons FC and URA FC battled to a 1-1 draw at Luzira Prisons Ground on a Friday afternoon that featured late drama.
Both teams appeared to be heading for a goalless stalemate until the 86th minute when substitute Emmanuel Okech found the back of the net, opening his goal account for the 2023/24 SUPL campaign and breaking the deadlock.
The Tax Collectors believed they had secured maximum points at Luzira, but the in-form Dariuos Ojok had different plans, scoring a 94th-minute equalizer for the Prison Warders.
With this late equalizer, Ojok increased his goal tally to three, placing him among the league's top scorers, sharing the lead with teammate Fred Amaku, Kitara FC's Denis Omedi, BUL FC's Alex Kitata, and NEC FC's Cromwell Rwothomio.
