At Wankulukuku, Erisa Ssekisambu scored only the goal as Vipers defeated Lweza 1-0 in the Entebbe Road derby.

This was sweet revenge for Vipers against a side they failed to beat last season.

In Lugazi, pressure mounted on URA coach Kefa Kisaala after his side lost 2-1 to Sadolin Paints at home. This was URA FC 's sixth game of the season and they've won only once.

Elsewhere, SC Villa conceded their first goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Soana. Frank Kalanda gave Soana the lead before  Vitals Tabu equalized for Villa.
