Fast improving goalie Wasswa eyes more clean sheets at Onduparaka FC

Onduparaka Football Club first choice goalkeeper Yusuf Wasswa stands out as one of the best shot stoppers thus far as the opening round of the 2019 – 2020 Uganda Premier League winds down.

Out of the 14 games played, Wasswa has managed a magical 8 clean sheets as the Caterpillars have accumulated as many as 7 victories, 2 stalemates and 5 losses.

Wasswa has had quite a number of outstanding performances for the club with pin-point saves, one against one thwarts and overall command of the backline.

Soft spoken by nature, Wasswa is a complete reciprocal on the field of play; a good game reader, aggressive and commands the goal posts with authority.

The authoritative part of his game has witnessed him assemble the defence with awesome organization.

Ironically, he down-plays the individual brilliance and quickly attributes the impressive display to the collective performance of the entire team.
