Obua lays question marks on two Kitara goals in URA defeat
URA FC head coach David Obua was far from convinced by two of the three goals his team conceded as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Kitara FC at the Masindi Stadium on Thursday.
The tactician drew question marks to Denis Omedi's first goal and the second by Jude Semugabi and was only convinced with Living Kabon's.
"Two of them, maybe the third goal was a good goal, but the (first) two they scored there were questionable," Obua said in the post-match interview.

For the first goal, the scorer Omedi appeared to be in an offside position before receiving the pass from Kabon to tuck home.

In the second, Semugabi looked to have beaten the offside trap from the URA defence to head in a Paul Mucureezi corner.

"But, I don't care, I'll go back home and work again," Obua added.
"We tried to control the ball but we had lapses at the back where they played the ball behind us," he noted in his take on the team's display.
Obua then backed his decision to withdraw goalkeeper Rogers Omedwa for James Alitho at halftime, as the team trailed 2-0.
"Again, sometimes where something is not working out, you change and I'll keep changing."
With the result, URA stayed seventh on the log with 31 points in 21 matches.
