MATCH REPORT
Kiyinda Boys FC 0-1 Soltilo Bright Stars FC
FUFA Big League – Matchday 5 | Sunday 26 October 2025 | Betherm City Stadium, Gayaza
⸻
Soltilo Bright Stars earned a hard-fought and fully deserved victory away at Kiyinda Boys, chalking up their first win and first clean sheet of the 2025/26 season in commanding fashion.
Although the hosts began strongly and forced an early penalty when goalkeeper Muhindo brought down the striker in the box, the penalty was squandered — and from that moment the momentum shifted. A bold double substitution by Head Coach Ian Mutenda in the 59th minute introduced Yasin Mugume and Mansoor Safi, and just three minutes later Mugume’s expertly-delivered cross found captain Nsereko, who calmly converted to give Bright Stars the lead.
From that point Soltilo Bright Stars controlled the remainder of the match. Savio, Matovu and Enzama formed a resolute defensive unit, with Muhindo producing key saves while the team absorbed pressure and limited the home side’s attacking opportunities. Bright Stars showed composure, tactical discipline and real character in the final third of the match.
At full-time the 0-1 result sees Soltilo Bright Stars pick up three valuable points and register a clean sheet that reflects the team’s growing confidence and cohesion.
