Lugazi even buoyed by the home crowd were up against a giant battle. And as the sides headed for the field, the gap in quality and experience was evident.

Usama Arafat reacted quickly to rebound Karisa’s header after Mutebi Juma had pulled off a decent save, to give Vipers a deserved lead in the 9th minute.

Lugazi aided by Bagoole and Kalanzi puffed, hyped the tempo but couldn’t get past The Red Wall well Marshalled by Mulondo and Da Sylva. Chances were far between and Alfred Mukendereza had little or nothing to do in the first 45.

Steven Bogere’s boys came out of the blocks for the second half, with a new lease of life, only to be undone by poor communication in defense as substitute Yunus Ssentamu lashed on a long ball to loop it past the on rushing Juma Mutebi, to double Vipers lead.

Ashiraf Mulindi’s late strike was more of a consolation than resurgence for Lugazi, who in the entire game fell short of the composure to maximise key moments in offense.

And in the end, a game of fine margins as Ivan Jacky Minnaert’s men surely left the thick forest of Mabira with the deserved 3 points and their surge up the table of the UPL goes on with yet no taste of defeat
