Ugandan forward John Paul Dembe delivered a stellar performance on Thursday night, scoring twice as Swedish side BK Häcken demolished Romanian giants CFR Cluj 7-2 in the Europa Conference League playoffs.
The 20-year-old attacker showcased his sharp finishing and growing confidence on the continental stage, taking his tally to three goals in five European competition appearances this season, including the UEFA Europa League qualifiers. His brace not only underlined Häcken’s dominance but also reinforced his status as one of the emerging Ugandan forwards making a mark in Europe.
Dembe has been steadily building momentum since arriving at Häcken, and his numbers reflect that progress. He has now netted seven goals across 27 appearances for the club since last season.

Häcken’s emphatic win over Cluj puts them in a commanding position heading into the return leg, with Dembe’s contributions at the heart of their attacking firepower.
For Ugandan football, Dembe’s exploits provide a timely reminder of the talent pipeline producing players capable of excelling on European soil. He has yet to play a senior team game for the Cranes, but has represented the country at the U17 and U20s.
