Gomba Come From Behind to Keep Quarter-Final Hopes Alive

Gomba delivered a crucial comeback victory at Lutoboka Stadium, defeating hosts Ssese 2–1 to strengthen their push for a place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Masaza Cup.

The hosts took the lead through Raymond Kayemba, giving Ssese an early advantage and putting Gomba under pressure. However, Gomba responded strongly and showed great character to turn the game around.

Collins Ssemanda restored parity for Gomba before Peter Kyomuhendo completed the comeback, scoring the decisive goal to secure all three points for the visitors.

The 2–1 victory is a major boost for Gomba, who remain firmly in contention for a quarter-final place. They now sit just one point behind Kyaggwe, with Kyaggwe set to play their next match tomorrow.

Gomba will therefore be watching that fixture closely as the battle for qualification intensifies.

For Ssese, the defeat is a disappointing result in front of their home supporters, while Gomba leave Lutoboka with a valuable three points and renewed confidence heading into the decisive stage of the competition.
