Wakiso Giants down Mbarara City for maiden win, Police defeat Kyetume to go top

Wakiso Giants picked up their first win of the ongoing Ugandan Premier League season after a 1-0 win over Mbarara City on Friday at Kakyeka Stadium.

Kipson Atuheire, who was making his debut for the Purple Sharks, scored the only goal of the encounter to ensure coach Douglas Bamwenyana registered a first win since taking charge of the club.

In a contest that both sides looked equally matched, Mbarara City's Bashir Mutanda shot over the bar the first clear chance after he beat Edward Sabulo in the 30th minute.
