SC Villa failed to earn revenge against their rivals Express FC after they settled for a 0-0 draw in a Ugandan Premier League derby at Bombo Military Grounds on Wednesday.
The two oldest clubs in Uganda history were meeting for the second round fixture with the Jogoos seeking to avenge the 1-0 first-round defeat suffered against the Red Eagles at Wankulukuku Stadium.
It was Express who started out well in the first period trying to break through Villa’s midfield but the hosts stood firm.
