Vipers SC needed a late comeback to ensure they picked up a 2-1 Ugandan Premier League win over Kitara FC on Wednesday at St Mary’s Stadium.
Paul Mucureezi and Daniel Sserunkuma ensured the champions won their first game after they had gone behind to the debutants 10 minutes after the second half had started.
Brian Mayanja scored the opener for Kitara in the 55th minute but substitutes Mucureezi and Sserunkuma buried their hopes of picking up three points from the under-pressure champions.
