The Plate Cup category delivered intense drama as Solida FC clinched their first-ever trophy by defeating Kombora FC 3-2 in a tense penalty shootout after a hard-fought, scoreless stalemate in regular time.

Solida’s Ashraf Asasira scored one of the decisive penalties, while goalkeeper Stewart Anywar a.k.a Onana delivered a heroic performance by saving two spot-kicks to clinch the win. Kester Ssemugabi and Martin Mukama also successfully converted their spot-kicks.

It marked Solida’s first Plate Cup triumph. Kombora FC finished as runners-up.

For Solida FC, the jubilant Ashraf Asasira reflected on the hard-fought final: “The match was very tight, but we managed to stick to our tactics, we managed to win the penalty shootouts. We are very grateful—it’s the first time for us to take the trophy.”

Kombora’s Pascal Twayitibwa, who spoke about reaching the final among 20 teams, highlighted his side’s spirit: “It has been a good season for Kombor, If you reach the final, even if it’s the plate, that means you performed really well.”
