Henry Kisekka and Shafik Kagimu scored for URA as they came from behind to down Vipers at St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende on Tuesday afternoon.

Milton Karisa had given the hosts a lead inside four minutes as the Venoms hoped to win a successive game for the first time in a couple of months.

Karisa scored his sixth goal of his campaign after four minutes but Kisekka ensured the two teams ended the first half all square with an equalizing goal.

Two minutes after the break, man of the match Shafik Kagimu scored the winner for URA and despite a late surge from the hosts, they held on for maximum points.

URA becomes the first side to win a league game at the new St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende and only the second after Paidha Black Angels who won a Uganda Cup tie last season.

URA move to 6th on the 16-team log with 19 points while Vipers stay 5th with 20 points.
