Vipers leave it late
At St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende, Vipers had to wait until the closing stages before finally breaking Calvary’s resistance.
Congolese forward Gusto Wa Ilungo Mulungo scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute, finishing from close range after being set up by Junior Yunus Ssentamu.
The Venoms had introduced Ssentamu and Milton Karisa in a double change midway through the second half, and the move proved decisive as the forward’s creativity unlocked a stubborn Calvary defence.
Mulungo, who had himself come on in the 76th minute, was later named man of the match. The narrow victory lifted Vipers to 50 points from 21 matches, keeping them four points ahead of second-placed Kitara.

Midfielder Saidi Mayanja opened the scoring in the 19th minute after Lugazi goalkeeper Allan Batali Igama spilled the ball into his path. KCCA doubled the lead in the 57th minute when Mayanja turned provider, setting up striker Ivan Ahimbisibwe, who finished clinically.
Four minutes later, Lugazi defender Paul Wasswa turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Ahimbisibwe to seal the result.
The victory kept KCCA third on 45 points, maintaining pressure on the teams above them.
