The 2020/21 Uganda Premier league season is continuing to amuze by it’s way of being unique compared to previous few seasons.

It has been rare to find a club wining three consecutive opening fixtures of the league.

In the other games, Uganda Police football club beat struggling newcomers, Kitara FC by 5-1 on road. Ben Ocen bagged an hat-trick, Mahmod Hassan and Yusuf Sozzi also appeared on the day’s score sheet.
Said Kyeyune’s late strike helped Sam Simbwa’s URA FC to register their maiden win of the season after beating Sports Club Villa by 2-1, Derrick Ndahiro’s penalty wasn’t enough for the Jogoos to escape hungry tax collectors.
In their first League game, defending champions Vipers SC only managed to pick a point from Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium in Wakiso against Wakiso Giants. On his return, Shaban Muhammad’s goal was cancelled by Viane Ssekajugo who also returned from injury, for the venoms and Wakiso Giants to share spoils.
