Bright Stars’ best attempts at goal fell to Nelson Ssekantuka who wasted both of them. He rose high to head out Methodius Jjungu’s cornerkick in the 10th minute before he failed to connect with a well driven Andrew Kaggwa’s cross just before the break.
Immediately after the break, Bright Stars had a chance to level matters but Allan Katwe exhibited traits of a poor finisher when he missed from close range with goalie Nathian Alionzi well beaten.
But it was URA that got the game’s next goal in the 56th minute after poor goalkeeping from Tamale gifted Mukwala a chance to put the ball into an empty net, and the forward did no mistake to extend his side’s lead. Tamale failed to handle an easy ball after a long clearance by URA FC.
