Ngora, Uganda | Defending champions Lango Province underlined their resilience with a composed 0-0 draw against Teso Province in the first leg of their quarter-final clash in Ngora.
In a performance built on experience, Lango showed why they are the team to beat—soaking up pressure, staying organised, and refusing to give Teso any clear route to goal.
Teso, determined to make home advantage count, pushed forward in search of a breakthrough but were met by a well-drilled Lango side that rarely looked troubled.
Despite their effort and attacking intent, the hosts were unable to turn possession into clear chances.
For Lango, the objective was clear: stay in the tie and take it back home level. Mission accomplished.
The goalless result keeps the defending champions firmly on course, with the second leg on March 29 now shaping up as a decisive test of both nerve and quality.
Elsewhere, Buganda Province were also held to a 0-0 draw by Tooro Province, meaning the quarter-final stage has so far been defined by tight margins and cautious approaches.
With no goals separating any of the sides, the spotlight now turns to the return fixtures—where the champions will look to assert their authority, and challengers like Teso aim to rise to the occasion.
