Runaway Uganda Premier League leaders Vipers SC resumed normal business on Wednesday evening with an unconvincing 2-0 victory over relegated-threatened Gaddafi in Kitende.
Caesar Manzoki scored the all important goals for the venoms who now move 14 points above KCCA FC with just five games left to play.
Vipers SC dominated from the outset and scored with first meaningful attempt at goal as Caesar Manzoki rebounded to net from close range and put the venoms ahead in the 10th minute.
Few minutes later, Milton Karisa had a chance to double the venom’s lead but he headed high a well driven Allan Kayiwa cross at the far post.
Mukundane also tried an acrobatic kick in the 37th minute that went agonizingly wide while Kayiwa fired in a ferocious shot to Ronald Mutebi’s goal but Gaddafi goalkeeper wonderfully palmed the ball high.
Gaddafi did not attempt any realistic shot on the opening half so youngster Denis Kiggundu was untested in the venoms’ goal.
At the restart, Vipers coach Roberto Oliviera introduced on Karim Watambala for Bright Anukani, who looked so tired in the opening half.
Gaddafi also made a change of their own in bringing on Steven Muguchi for an injured Umar Kyeyune.
The second half was shot of chances as both sides struggled to impose themselves upfront.
But just the death of the game, Manzoki completed his brace with a nice strike after he was set up by substitute Denis Mwemezi.
With today’s victory, Vipers extend their winning run to seven games, having last not secured a victory in a 1-all stalemate with UPDF. They are also unbeaten in their last 15 games in all competitions.
With the loss, Gaddafi stay 11th on the log with 28 points. They are only four points above the relegation zone.
