Singida Fountain Gate opened their Ligui Kuu Bara campaign with a 3:0 victory over Big Stars on Thursday. The hosts took all three points at home, moving clear of the bottom half after five games. To be fair, the result reflected the gulf between fourth and fourteenth place in the table.
J. Sowah broke the deadlock in the twenty-ninth minute, finding the net early and setting the tone. Big Stars received a caution thirty minutes in, a sign of things to come. By then the visitors had already surrendered the initiative to their hosts.
Athuman came on at the restart for one side or the other, a change that did little to shift momentum. A second yellow card arrived fifty-seven minutes in, though the record does not specify who took the booking. The match settled into a rhythm the visitors could not disrupt.
Then came the late surge. A goal in the eighty-second minute gave the hosts breathing room, followed by another at the full-time whistle. The third arrived in stoppage time, a cruel finish to what had been an uneven contest. They saw it out with authority.
Fountain Gate sit on ten points from three wins, one draw and one defeat. Big Stars remain anchored on three points, with only a single victory from five outings. The gap between them is now wider than before kickoff.
