Azam secured a 2:0 victory over Namungo in the eighth round of Ligi Kuu Bara on Sunday evening. The home side moved further clear in their push for the upper reaches of the table. By then, the gap between them and the visitors was growing wider.
H. Mubiru opened the scoring in the twenty-eighth minute, catching the defence napping. It was the kind of moment that settles a game early, and Azam never looked back. To be fair, Namungo had no real answer to the pressure.
There was a yellow card in the seventy-sixth minute — a booking that shifted the tempo slightly. Then, in the dying moments at ninety-plus-five, Azam struck again. The second goal came late, and it sealed the result. And here's the thing about these games: three or four moments decide them, the rest is background noise.
Azam now sit third with eleven points from five matches, undefeated. Namungo remain eleventh on six points after three losses. The hosts have kept three clean sheets on the spin, while the visitors have not won away from home all season.
The result extends Azam's unbeaten run and widens the gap to the mid-table. Namungo will need to regroup if they are to climb out of trouble. For now, the home side are building something that looks like momentum.
