Allan Damba • 17:05 - 21.02.2024

This marked URA's second Cup game in three days, following their Sunday 2-0 victory over Kumi United.

URA FC needed to come from a goal down to thrash Calvary FC 4-1 in the Round of 32 of the Stanbic Uganda Cup on Wednesday at Midigo Primary School in Yumbe.

Goals from Ibrahim Wammanah, Ivan Ahimbisibwe and an Ibrahim Dada brace were enough to have the Tax Collectors through to the Round of 16 of the 50th edition of the Cup.

Former Onduparaka player Nathan Oloro scored Calvary's only consolation in the 16th minute, a goal that gave them a first half lead.

However, six minutes into the second stanza, Wammanah levelded matters with a thunderous long-range effort.

With 15 minutes to play, substitute Dada put the Taxmen ahead with a calm finish off Moses Aliro's cross.

Five minutes to the 90, Ahimbisibwe capitalized on the goalkeeper's error to slot in an empty net and make it 3-1.

In the 89th minute, Dada completed his brace with a powerfully struck effort, following a neat pass from Ahimbisibwe.

This marked URA's second Cup game in three days, following their Sunday 2-0 victory over Kumi United.
