Vipers Sports Club recorded their biggest home victory of the season, humiliating a hapless Maroons 5-0 at the St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende on match day 24 of the Uganda Premier League on Wednesday.

There were five different scorers on the red letter evening.

Allan Kayiwa scoring the opener at the end of the first half, with a calm cool finish past goalkeeper Emmanuel Akol off a well laid ball by Milton Karisa on the right.

Then, there were four second half goals by Brian Nkuubi, Milton Karisa and two substitutes Paul “Mucu” Mucureezi and Abraham Ndugwa.

There was only one yellow card by referee Alex Muhabi to Maroons’ Maxwell Okello in the 58th minute.

“We recovered well from the rubbish that we played against URA. It is a strong statement and great recovery. I thank all the players and fellow technical team members” Vipers’ head coach Fred Kajoba Kisitu disclosed.

Brian Nkuubi was named the pilsner man of the match.
