Allan Okello Speaks Out After Ending Goal Drought for Yanga SC

Young Africans secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Singida Fountain Gate in a one-sided NBC Premier League clash on Thursday evening, a match highlighted by Ugandan playmaker Allan Okello finally getting on the scoresheet for his new club.

Allan Okello, who had gone 10 games without a goal since joining the club, broke his duck from the penalty spot to help seal a comfortable win for the league leaders.

The visitors took the lead in the 37th minute when Prince Dube found the net with a brilliant finish, delighting the traveling Yanga supporters.

Their advantage was doubled just before halftime after Dube was brought down inside the box, earning his side a penalty.

Dube handed the spot-kick duties to Allan Okello, who confidently dispatched the ball into the bottom corner from 12 yards to extend Yanga's lead.

Ten minutes into the second half, the match was effectively put to bed. Dube unleashed a powerful long-range shot that the goalkeeper could only parry, and Mudathir Yahya was perfectly positioned to capitalise on the rebound and make it 3-0.

Despite creating several more opportunities to add to their tally, Young Africans were denied by a resilient Singida defense determined to prevent further damage.

The win solidifies Young Africans' position at the top of the league table, moving them to 32 points after 12 matches. Singida Fountain Gate remains in ninth place with 19 points from the same number of games.

Reacting after the match, the former Vipers SC attacking midfielder expressed his pride and gratitude to have found the back of the net.

“A fantastic team performance to secure all three points on the road yesterday. I’m delighted to have opened my account for @YoungAfricansSC. Asanteni wananchi kwa support yenu daima 💚💛,” he added.

The Ugandan playmaker’s composed penalty not only contributed to the team’s convincing win but could also mark a turning point in his journey with the club.

With his confidence boosted and the support of the Yanga faithful behind him, Allan Okello will be hoping this goal is the first of many as he continues to play a key role in the team’s push for success this season.
