Tuesday result

URA 1-0 Express

Tooro United 1-0 BUL

Ronald Kigongo capitalised on Express skipper Isaac Mutanga’s poor clearance to score the only goal in the 77^th minute to cap his Pilsner Man of the match performance as URA defeated Express 1-0 on Tuesday at the Namboole stadium.

This was the first win for the Tax Collectors at Express in four seasons. URA last registered a win against the Red Eagles in May 2015.

The result saw Express slip two places to 11^th with 29 points after 24 games which has left the fans dissatisfied with head coach George Ssemwogerere despite him staying buoyant.

URA meanwhile moved a place to third on 42 points –interchanging position with Mbarara City. At Betway Muteesa II stadium in Wankulukuku, Tooro United registered a winning start to the venue after shifting from Buhinga stadium, Fort Portal to pave way for facility construction.

The Wasswa Bbosa side beat ten-man BUL FC 1-0 courtesy of Allan Kayiwa’s 8^th minute goal and his 7^th of the campaign. BUL finished the game 10 men after Patrick Sembuya’s 90^th minute red card.

Tooro United moved a place to 6^th with 36 points whilst BUL remained 5^th –bettering Tooro United by just a goal.
