Charles Lwanga scored four goals as SC Villa hit UPDF 5-0 in a StarTimes Uganda Premier League match played at Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku on Friday.
The victory was, however, overshadowed by the passing of an assistant referee, Peter Kabugo.
“The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) regrets to announce the sudden passing of National Assistant Referee, Peter Kabugo, who collapsed during a league match at Wankulukuku Stadium on Friday 1st November 2024,” reads in part a statement from the local FA.
“A postmortem examination will be conducted to determine the cause of death,” it adds.
Before the sad news of the referee’s passing filtered through, Villa and Charles Lwanga put on a scoring clinic as the striker grabbed four of the Jogoos’ goals, the fifth being an own goal by Aggrey Kirya.
