In a dominant performance, URA FC defeated Bright Stars 4-0 in a Uganda Premier League match played at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo. This victory marked the tax collectors’ third consecutive win, further boosting their position in the league standings.
The match began with URA FC asserting their dominance early on.

Their persistence paid off in the 16th minute when Joseph Ssemujju opened the scoring, giving URA FC a deserved lead.
The first half saw an injury setback for URA FC, as Ivan Ahimbisibwe had to be replaced by Bruno Bunyaga in the 28th minute. However, Bunyaga quickly made his presence felt, scoring just 10 minutes after coming on. His clinical finish doubled URA FC’s lead and left Bright Stars struggling to find a response.

Bunyaga, who had already made an impact, was not finished yet. In the 87th minute, he completed his brace, further adding to Bright Stars’ woes as URA FC took a comfortable 4-0 lead.
Despite having won their previous match against Police FC, Bright Stars’ struggles continued in this fixture. With just 15 points from 23 games, they now find themselves in 15th position in the relegation zone.
