The match was marked by drama, resilience, and determination from both teams.
Kyambogo University got off to a flying start, with Komakech Emmanuel scoring in the 3rd minute.
However, ISBAT University quickly responded, leveling the score just three minutes later through Akantambira Daniel.
The game took a dramatic turn when Kyambogo goalkeeper Mushemeza Edgar was shown a straight red card for handling the ball outside his area, forcing his team to play with 10 men.
Despite being outnumbered, Kyambogo University managed to snatch the winner in the 82nd minute through Odong Ivan, who capitalized on a rare counterattack.

With this win, Kyambogo University tops Group C with three points, marking a dream return to the competition.
