Busoga United captain Douglas Muganga powerfully headed home for the opening goal after 12 minutes.

The goal prompted a quick change for the visitors when Moses Kiggundu paved way for Fred Agandu.
Striker Isaac Ogwanga levelled the matters in the 18th minute, thanks to Ronald Ssekiganda’s donkey work after heading a long clearance in the path of the goal scorer.
