At Lugogo, the Uganda Cranes Select side overcame a goal deficit to defeat SC Villa, the winners of the Uganda Premier League, 2-1.
Arnold Odong gave SC Villa the lead in the twenty-five minute, but it was short-lived as Select was given a dubious penalty by referee George Olemu.
Olemu determined that Edward Masembe, a Villa defender, had fouled Isaac Ogwang in the prohibited area.
The team led by Sam Ssimbwa regained parity through Ogwang, and in the 79th minute, Godfrey Ssekibengo clinched the comeback victory.
On Wednesday, the two teams will square off in the return leg at the same location; the victor advances to the semifinals, while the loser plays in the classification game. FUFA SUPER 8.
