Ugandan Premier League Jane Mutonyi has been banned for one month by the Referees Disciplinary Panel for wrongfully ruling out a goal in the Police FC against Wakiso Giants match played on April 28 at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium.

The hosts won 3-1 after Joshua Lubwama scored a brace in that particular game, with Viane Sekajugo scoring the third while the Cops scored theirs courtesy of Herman Wasswa.

With the score at 3-1, Wasswa managed to beat the defenders and the goalkeeper for his team's second in the 84th minute but was shocked when Mutonyi ruled it out, stating the ball had gone out of play which was not the case.
