Kawempe Muslim Ladies seized control of the FUFA Women Super League table following a gritty 1-0 triumph over Uganda Martyrs Lubaga on Saturday at St. Gerald’s Stadium. The decisive moment arrived in the 50th minute when forward Jovia Nakagolo slotted home past goalkeeper Joan Namusisi, cementing her team’s dominance.

The first half saw Kawempe create multiple chances, with Latifa Nakasi and Agnes Nabukenya threatening against Nakasi’s former club. Uganda Martyrs rallied after halftime, pressing for an equalizer, but their efforts lacked precision. Nusurah Nakintu came closest for the hosts, rattling the crossbar with a long-range attempt in the latter stages.

With this result, Kawempe now leads the league with 10 points, three clear of chasing sides Kampala Queens and She Corporate, who have games in hand. Meanwhile, Uganda Martyrs remain mid-table after failing to capitalize on their opportunities.
