FOOTBALL Uganda Cup Final: Vipers complete league, Uganda Cup double
Vipers SC has etched its name into the 'double class' after winning the 2023 Uganda Cup title following a 1-0 victory over Police FC at the Akii Bua Stadium in Lira.
Police FC's Missi Diego Semugera was named the tournament's best midfielder. The award was only mere consolation for Semugera, whose side dominated proceedings in the final but failed to find a breakthrough.
Soltilo Bright Stars' forward Emmanuel Loki was the tournament's top scorer with five goals.
Milton Karisa scored the lone goal in the first half with a header off a Bright Anukani corner kick. The Vipers skipper found himself in acres of space and unmarked in the box to head home.
Police forward Emmanuel Mugume had just failed to score after Herman Wasswa robbed Rogers Torach of possession and put him through on goal.
