Before that goal, Busoga had chances but Ngalo Fredrick and Paul Onzima wasted them.
The Red Eagles best chance fell to Deus Bukenya but the midfielder headed a brilliant Sadiq Ssekyembe cornerkick just wide.
With Express struggling to create enough goalscoring chances, the game went into the break with the Red Eagles trailing by a 1-0.
At the start of the second half, Joseph Akwadwaho was introduced on by Odoch with hope that the forward could help the Red Eagles level matters and consequently win the game.
With his introduction, Express started to dominate some of the proceedings, but still lacked that cutting edge upfront in order to find an equaliser.
Busoga were so dangerous on the counter attacks and nearly got their second in the 61st minute but Ssekulima didn’t put too much energy into his header after being set up substitute Ssaka Ssozi.
