Marvin Kavuma scored the lone goal for Buddu Ssaza team in their 1-0 victory at home against Busujju during the return semi-final leg of the 2018 Airtel Masaza cup at the Masaka Recreational Stadium on Sunday.

The forward squeezed a perfectly drilled low drive past goalkeeper Sharif Magoola on the near post in the 51^st minute of the well-attended game that was also watched by the Buganda minister of sports, leisure and recreation, Owek. Henry Ssekabembe Kiberu.

The home side would have doubled the lead but Frank Ssebuffu’s goal with twenty minutes left on the clock was cancelled after an off-side call.

Buddu’s backline of Brian Oyuka, Gideon Odongo, Nasser Lukwago, Ashraf Magembe and second half subsistute Umar Kato remained as solid as a rock despite attempts by Gerrard “Mwenda” Ogweti, Ibrahim Kasinde and Nasir Kakooza.

Led by their head coach Simon Peter Mugerwa, Buddu thus qualifies for the finals and will face the Ssingo in this year’s final on 27^th October 2018 at Nelson Mandela National Stadium, Namboole.
