It was a battle between 3rd and 2nd on the top of the Uganda premier league played at Bombo Barracks grounds.

The match lived to it’s billing as one of the most unpredictable fixtures of the round.

SC Villa not only wanted to close the gap on 2nd placed BUL, but also stretch their unbeaten run since the opening day loss to Kyetume FC. They have now gone 12 matches without testing defeat.

James Otim was guilty of missing a series of clear cut goal scoring opportunities in the first period, especially one that befell him in the 30th minute through on goal but he somehow failed to loop the ball over Saidi Keni who was already on his knees.

It was BUL however who drew first blood when Richard Wandyaka met Robert Mukongotya’s corner after David Owori had failed to clear the ball out of danger in the 73rd minute.
