Singingda Fountain Gate claimed a 3-2 victory over Namungo in the fifth round of Ligi Kuu Bara on Tuesday evening. The result keeps the hosts fifth in the table with seven points from four matches, while Namungo remain ninth on six points. M. Damaro stood out among the scorers, netting in the thirty-sixth minute.
Goals came thick and fast in the opening half, with the first at eighteen minutes and a second just six minutes later. By the thirty-sixth minute, Damaro had added his name to the scoresheet, and Namungo responded at fifty minutes. The hosts struck back at fifty-six, then sealed the win with a seventh-minute goal in the second half. Yellow cards at twenty-six, forty-seven, seventy-five and eighty-three minutes marked a physical encounter.
Possession told a familiar story, with the home side controlling sixty-one per cent of the ball. They registered ninety-one attacks against ninety-five for the visitors, though Namungo managed more corners with three compared to five for the hosts. Shooting accuracy favoured the home team, with six shots on target to five, and four off target against two.
and here's the thing — the statistics don't capture everything. The hosts came for a cross they never quite reached in the first period, but when they pushed forward, they found more answers. Namungo had nothing to lose and dug in, yet the home side never got out of second gear once they took control.
Singingda Fountain Gate's recent form has been mixed. They beat Полиси Танзания 4-2 in their last outing, but lost 1-2 to Симба in the previous round. Namungo showed resilience with a 1-0 victory over Сингида Биг Старс, though they came up against Янг Африканс and suffered a 1-3 defeat.
The result means the hosts extend their lead over Namungo by one point. Both sides have played four games, but the gap could widen if either team drops points in the coming fixtures. For now, the home side sits comfortably in mid-table, while the visitors still have work to do to climb higher.
