The result means Simba move to fourth place with six points while KHC drop from second place to third on nine points.

Wananchi extended their perfect start winning their fourth successive game against bottom placed Rockets.

Collin Batusa, Thomas Opio and Innocent Mbabali scored for the defending champions while Rockets got their consolation through Kenneth Tamale.

Weatherhead moved to second place after their third win in as many games. They defeated new comers Makerere 4-0.
