The Hoima based club outwitted Water 2-0 at the Muteesa II Wankulukuku Stadium before a lively crowd.
Moments after missing a penalty through striker Alex “Benzema” Kitata, the visitors made quick amends and found the breakthrough when Mike Benon Baluku tormented his former club with the opener on 20 minutes.
Baluku looped the ball over the advancing goalkeeper Aggrey Kiligola from an acute angle after being played through by former Express captain David Ndihabwe.
They doubled their lead through a former SC Villa striker George Ssenkaaba with a stunning 40 yards strike that goalie Kiligola hesitated to stop before kissing the roof of the net.
