Lweza line-up against URA Credit: © Kawowo Sports | DAVID ISABIRYE

Lweza secured their first Uganda Premier League win in 2017 with a crucial 2-0 victory over their relegation rivals, The Saints on Friday at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.

Two late goals from Ronald Muganga and Juma Balinya were enough to hand the Kajansi-based side their first victory since the turn of the year as their fight for survival continues.

After a barren first half, Muganga broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute and with a few seconds to 90, Balinya made sure of the three points as Lweza beat their fellow league strugglers on Friday.

The Saints played the second half with ten men after Abdul Bukwata received his marching orders in the 49th minute.

The win moves Lweza, now on 25 points out of the bottom three. They are however, above the red line on goal difference. Sadolin Paints who are in action tomorrow against Soana drop down to 14th due to an inferior goal difference.

The loss coupled with Police’s 2-0 victory over Vipers drops The Saints to 12th in the league standings.
