HAMZ CUP: BIG EVENING AS UNION SPORTS CLUB FACE LEGENDS AND STARS, TIKTOK FC BATTLE PIRATES
HAMz Stadium at Nakivubo War Memorial is set for a big evening on Saturday, August 15, as two well-supported sides, Union Sports Club and TikTok FC, headline the two games of the evening.
At 4:00 PM, Union Sports Club will take on Legends and Stars FC. The Boda Boda men will be chasing a win that could secure them one of the remaining four slots in the round of 16.
They face a winless side in Group E. Union Sports Club currently sit third behind Pirates FC on goal difference at -2 compared to +1, with both teams tied on 3 points from two games.
As a reminder, Pirates FC defeated Legends and Stars on matchday one, while Union Sports Club picked up their points against Pirates FC on matchday two, bouncing back from a heavy defeat to TikTok FC.
In the group, TikTok FC are already in a safe position. They have sealed their place in the next stage with two wins, 6 points, 7 goals scored, and only 1 conceded.
They take on Pirates at 7:00 PM but will be without key players Farouk Tumwesigye, Ashiraf Kyakuwa, and Jordan Tugume, who are all representing Uganda at the ongoing FEASSA Games in Morogoro, Tanzania.
With only one slot remaining, Union Sports Club will aim to win by a big margin. However, they will also have to wait on the result of the Pirates FC game and hope that TikTok FC avoid defeat.
For Pirates FC to progress, they will need Union Sports Club to fail to win by more than 3 goals, and they must beat TikTok FC at any cost.
If both games end in draws, Pirates FC will remain in favor. But a Pirates draw would work against them if Union Sports Club win the earlier game.
