Early in the second half, Nafula completed her brace before former Werder Bremen and FC Zwolle midfielder Doreen Nabwire scored a fifth to stretch Matuu’s lead to 1-5.

Western Commando then improved the score line with two goals from 13 and a half year old Majoline Wafula to make the score 3-5.

Sixth in seven away games

Matuu then pulled away once and for all with a brace from Fransine Khamali to settle the game at 3-7.
