“We didn’t have a good start, and it affected us the rest of the game,” Ssenyonjo said after the full-time whistle at Wakisha Grounds.

Abraham Tusubira's clever work on the ball saw him set up both Darius Ojok's goals, and he later found the back of the net himself with just 10 minutes on the clock.
“An early goal brings pressure, and it was up to us to lift ourselves,” he added.
Ojok’s opener set the pace for the game as Maroons dominated proceedings.
Wakiso Giants found themselves in a spot of bother, with Maroons’ midfield comprising Derrick Ndihabwe and Ronald Orombi limiting any sort of progress for the home side.

Maroons went into the halftime break leading 2-0 after absorbing Wakiso’s late charge towards the end of the first half.
Tusubira, who created Ojok’s goals and was eventually named Man of the Match, later got a goal of his own after a mix-up between the Wakiso goalkeeper and his defenders.
