SC Villa thumped Entebbe FC 4-0 at Nakivubo stadium in the Uganda premier league (UPL) on Tuesday to keep a close eye on unbeaten table leaders Vipers F.C.
Ndugwa netted twice in the 24th minute and in the 26th minute to give Villa a 2-0 lead at half time. Steven Bengo’s substitute Erisa Ssekisambu who was returning from a one month suspension over indiscipline issues netted Villa’s third before Ndugwa closed his account on the evening with his third strike.
The hat-trick saw Ndugwa rise his personal tally to 7goals in the league and maintaining Villa in second spot with just a point behind table leaders Vipers. Villa have 22points from 10games while Entebbe remained buried in a relegation position with just 6points from the same number of games as Villa.
