SC Villa ejected Express FC from this year’s Stanbic Uganda Cup after winning the post-match penalty shoot-out on Tuesday (March 22) afternoon.
Villa, who were pre-match underdogs due to their recent poor performance on the pitch, beat Express 3-4 on penalties after a goal-less draw at the Mutesa II stadium in Wankulukuku.
The Jogoos’ victory over the Red Eagles (as Express are fondly nicknamed) is one of the biggest upsets in the tournament thus far.
Villa, eyeing a tenth Cup success, will now play Arua-based Onduparaka FC in the round-of 16.
In the other match played Tuesday, BUL FC also progress to the quarter-finals after beating Bright Stars 4-3 on penalties following a two-all draw in full time.
Action continues on Wednesday (March 23) with Maroons FC hosting Ndejje University at Luzira Prisons ground.
