JOVOC coach, Zagalo and team manager Paul Nkusi then made several changes in the second half bringing on the likes of veteran striker Alex Atuhaire, defender Pius Mugabe and winger Alex Asiimwe, and soon pulled one goal back through substitute Everest Muhereza. But just as they were putting their act together, JOVOC were hit with two read cards in 5 minutes – with Pius Mugabe dismissed after denying a clear goal scoring opportunity while their captain Anthony Alinda soon also followed after committing a second bookable offence. The football game ended 2-1.
