Ntugasaze’s 2-0 Win Over Soltilo Bright Stars Fuels Promotion Hopes

Ntugasaze FC Boosts Promotion Chances With 2-0 Win Over Soltilo Bright Stars

Ntugasaze Football Club has taken a significant step towards securing a spot in the Uganda Premier League, defeating Soltilo Bright Stars FC 2-0 at the Bugolobi Coffee grounds in the FUFA Big League.

The visitors took the lead in the 21st minute through a strike from Forward Jibril Badru Nsimbe, before Godfrey Kakooza doubled their advantage in the 77th minute.

This win marks a welcome return to form for Ntugasaze, who had previously shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw with Kaaro Karungi. The victory propels them to third position with 47 points from 28 matches, bolstering their promotional chances.

The win, however, came at the expense of Soltilo Bright Stars, who are now facing a relegation battle. The hosts’ poor run of form continues, with their last win coming in just one of their previous 13 matches.

Soltilo Bright Stars FC are currently languishing in the relegation zone, sitting 14th on the table with 29 points from 22 matches.

The FUFA Big League fixtures for Match Day 28 are set to be exciting, with several crucial matches scheduled for Sunday, 17 May 2026.
