Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) goalkeeper Julius Ssekyewa was the hero of the day as his side qualified for their second University Football League final.

 

Ssekyewa saved two penalties as the Nkozi based side eliminated Nkumba University away in Entebbe 5-4 on penalties after playing out a goalless draw in both semi-final legs.

UMU lost 4-0 to MUBS in 2015 final at Namboole Stadium.

In the second semi-final, Gulu University will host MUBS in the return leg on Friday. MUBS carries a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg that played in Nakawa.

The final and third playoff matches will be played on November 24th.
