St Lawrence University’s (SLAU) Bruno Bunyanga’s heroics saw him score a hattrick as last edition’s runners up’s beat Kampala University (KU) 4:1 at home in Kabuye Mpigi-Masaka Road. The other goal from Kikambi Martin completed a 4:1 rout and ensured SLAU progressed to the semi finals with a 5:1 aggregate score following a 1:0 win in the first leg away to KU.
Lokomakech Bill Joseph scored a consolation for the visitors who bowed out of the tournament at the last eight stage.
St. Lawrence University have now qualified for a second consecutive Pepsi University Football League semi-final and are looking to replicate or even better their 2019 performance that saw them finish runners up to Uganda Christian University.
The win was a sweet revenge for Nnono Ssozi's charges who were eliminated in the 2018 semi-finals by the two-time champions.
Last season's finalists are the first team to book a place in this year's semifinal and the other three second-leg quarterfinals will follow accordingly:
Tue 4th October
UMU (1) vs (1) Bugema
Thur 6th October
