FUFA Women Elite League
Ajax Queens 2-3 Amuria High School WFC
Amuria High School made a perfect start to the FUFA Women Elite League after overcoming Ajax Queens in the opening game of Group C on Thursday.
A spirited performance saw them edge past Ajax Queens, winning 3-2 with the winning goal coming two minutes to fulltime.
Amuria High School had skipper Emmanuel Akoel to thank. She scored a brace on the day with her second goal being the decisive moment.
She tapped home from a corner after Ajax Queens defence was caught sleeping on job.
Despite wasting several chances especially in the first half, Rehema Akurut broke the deadlock a minute to the mandatory break with a neat finish past goalkeeper Pamela Nakayondo who saved Ajax Queens on numerous occasions.
Akoel doubled the lead for the school side, three minutes after restart but Ajax Queens were quick to pull back one through Annet Namwange whose well taken free kick went straight into the back of the net.
The goal gave Ajax Queens hope and they seemed a rejuvenated side thereafter. By the 63rd minute, Moureen Nangozi had found the equalizer in what was a well worked team goal.
With the game destined for the end, Akoel tapped home to help her team secure maximum points.
The two teams will return to action on Friday with Ajax Queens taking Vision WFC while Amuria High School will play St. Peters.
