Owned by Ssegujja Ivan, CEO of Nsambya Furniture Workshop, the club showed every quality of an ambitious side determined to rise in Ugandan football.

Pre-Match Talk: Different Expectations
Before a ball was kicked, there was already intrigue surrounding the clash. Nsambya Furniture Workshop FC, building a reputation for consistency and style, were tipped as favorites. Tulibulala Family, though respected for their resilience, entered the match with less fanfare and more hope than expectation.
Conversations in Kampala’s cafés and football circles reflected this contrast. Supporters predicted a Nsambya win, though few dared to imagine the scale of what was to come. Tulibulala’s loyal base, meanwhile, clung to the possibility of springing a surprise.
But when the teams walked out, the gulf in preparation became obvious. Nsambya’s players exuded confidence; Tulibulala’s looked cautious.
Opening Stages: Pressure Builds
Right from kick-off, Nsambya Furniture Workshop FC seized control. Their midfield dictated tempo, their forwards stretched the backline, and their defense stayed compact whenever Tulibulala attempted a break. The pattern of the game was set almost instantly: Nsambya attacking, Tulibulala retreating.
The breakthrough came quickly. Slick passing carved open space on the flank, a low cross followed, and the finish was unerring. 1–0, and the tone was established.
Tulibulala barely had time to recover before Nsambya struck again. A corner floated in, defenders hesitated, and the ball was forced over the line. 2–0, and chants of celebration roared across the stands.
By the time the third goal arrived — a swift counterattack ending with a composed strike — the half-time whistle felt like a mercy. Nsambya entered the break with a commanding 3–0 lead, their opponents visibly shaken.
Second Half: No Way Back
If Tulibulala Family hoped for respite after the interval, they were mistaken. Nsambya continued with the same intensity, refusing to allow complacency. Their passing remained crisp, their pressing relentless.
A spectacular long-range effort made it 4–0, drawing applause even from neutral observers. The goalkeeper’s despairing dive was in vain as the ball flew past him into the net.
The final strike came late in the match, when a perfectly weighted through ball split Tulibulala’s defense. The finish was clinical, sealing a 5–0 rout that underlined the superiority of Nsambya Furniture Workshop FC.
As the referee blew for full-time, Tulibulala’s players looked exhausted, while Nsambya’s supporters celebrated as though they had witnessed a festival.
Tactical Breakdown
The difference between the sides lay not only in effort but also in structure. Nsambya Furniture Workshop FC executed a clear plan: press high, keep possession, and transition quickly. Their full-backs overlapped with confidence, their midfielders shielded the defense while creating opportunities, and their attackers capitalized on every opening.
Tulibulala Family, by contrast, struggled to impose themselves. Their midfield was overrun, their defense stretched, and their attack isolated. Attempts to build from the back often ended with misplaced passes or hurried clearances.
Coaches watching the game would hav noted Nsambya’s balance: disciplined at the back, inventive in attack, and tireless in energy. Tulibulala’s approach, though spirited, lacked cohesion.

Tulibulala’s traveling fans, though smaller in number, showed commendable loyalty. Even in defeat, they clapped their players off the pitch, proving that football is as much about spirit as it is about results.
