Rays of Grace Academy continued their impressive run in the FUFA Academies League with a hard-fought 2-1 comeback victory over Ebenezer Soccer Academy on Sunday, April 19th, 2026, at Masheriki Playground along Katale Road.
The match began with high intensity as both sides looked to assert dominance early on. It was Ebenezer Soccer Academy who struck first, with Yokoshani Gagyo finding the back of the net in the first half to give his side a deserved lead heading into the break.
However, the second half told a different story.
Rays of Grace Academy returned from halftime with renewed energy and determination. Their persistence paid off through their in-form youngster, Ivan Kiganda, who delivered a brilliant brace to turn the game on its head. His clinical finishing not only secured all three points for the Njeru-based side but also highlighted his growing importance to the team.
This victory marks the second consecutive comeback for the Kizito Louis-coached side, following their dramatic turnaround against Buddo Soccer Academy on matchday three—an indication of the team’s resilience and fighting spirit.
Speaking after the match, head coach Louis Kizito revealed that the initial plan was to keep a clean sheet and score at least two goals to secure a bonus point.
“Unfortunately, we conceded first,” he noted, “but the boys showed great resilience to come back and win the game.”
The win lifts Rays of Grace Academy to 10 points from four matches, strengthening their position in the league standings and boosting confidence within the squad.
Attention now shifts to matchday five, where Rays of Grace Academy will face Msingi Soccer Academy in a highly anticipated Greater Mukono derby. The fixture is set for Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at Watoto Grounds in Nakirebe.
Meanwhile, Ivan Kiganda’s brace takes his goal tally to six in just four games, making him one of the standout performers in the league so far.
With momentum on their side and key players hitting top form, Rays of Grace Academy look poised for an exciting continuation of their campaign.
