Fahad Bayo struck a goal against Wakiso Giants which ensured Vipers SC kept their place at the summit of the Ugandan Premier League (UPL) on Tuesday at St Mary’s Stadium.
The Venoms wasted a number of opportunities with Abdul Karim Watambala, Brian Kalumba, Paul Willa, Bayo and Allan Kayiwa all missing relatively easy chances which would have helped them win by a bigger margin.
Vipers' Bobosi Byaruhanga was named the Man of the Match and was awarded UShs. 100,000.
Jonathan Mugambi won the match for the UPL newcomers Kyetume as they beat Busoga United 2-1 at Bombo Army Military Stadium.
It was Kyetume who took the lead in the 10th minute via Noel Nasasira and they managed to keep the slender advantage until the 80th minute when Busoga United responded through Dan Ssewava.
Then Mugambi scored the winning goal in the second minute of added time to earn the newcomers their 16th point of the season.
