Kagera Sugar overturned a first-half deficit to beat Mashuya 2:1 in the Ligi ya Kuu Bara on Thursday. The visitors took a surprising lead through H. Lyawatwa in the seventy-third minute before M. Daudi's strike in the sixty-fifth had already levelled things. By then the hosts were searching for a response that never came, and the result leaves Mashuya eighth with six points from four games.
And here's the thing about the opening half: Mashuya controlled territory but could not convert their advantage. They registered ten corners against just one for Kagera and held sixty per cent of possession, yet the scoreboard remained empty when the whistle blew. To be fair, the visitors made their single shot on target count, turning a sparse attack into a goal.
The turning point arrived in the sixty-fifth minute when M. Daudi equalised, shifting the momentum entirely. Kagera then added a second through Lyawatwa twelve minutes later, ending a barren run that had stretched across five matches without a win. The hosts responded with pressure but could not find the net, missing a penalty in added time to seal their frustration.
Statistics tell a story of wasted opportunity. Mashuya launched 104 attacks and fired four shots, two on target, while Kagera managed 86 attacks and two shots, only one on target. Many shots with one goal means chances went begging, and that imbalance defined the afternoon. The yellow cards at eighty-one, eighty-four and eighty-seven minutes showed nerves setting in as the visitors held on grimly.
The result moves Kagera to the foot of the table with a solitary point from five fixtures, while Mashuya remain with six points after four outings. The visitors had not travelled to make up the numbers, and they proved it with clinical finishing when it mattered most. This was a match decided in three moments, the rest merely background noise.
