Shaban Muhammad's spark of genius effected Onduparaka's condemnation of visitors SC Villa to defeat, 4-3 at the Bet Way Green Light stadium on Saturday.

The Arua based side who have turned giant killers of sorts played with more belief and purpose after coming from behind to end Villa's unbeaten run this season.

Deo Sserwadda's boys had taken the lead in the 12th minute through Alex Kitatta who executed well, a cross from Godfrey Lwesibawa.

With 26 minutes played, Caesar Okhuti hit the mark, grabbing his debut goal from the spot after Shaban Muhammad was fouled in the box.

Ashadu Bugembe, who was between the sticks for Villa clumsily crossed the goal line trying to save Wahab Gaddaffi's free kick, though this particular decision by center referee Alex Muhabi to award the goal caused chaos with Villa officials almost flexing muscles with the game officials. The game stopped for some time.

2-1, the score board read at the end of half time but moments into the second half, Shaban was on target, doubling the lead for the 'caterpillars'.

On 53 minutes, Villa got their second through Alex Kitatta . The game became more absorbing when Villa made it level courtesy of Vitalis Tabu, who scored against his former side, on the spot to take his tally to four goals.

In the dying minutes of the game, Shaban beat an offside trap to score the winning goal for the home team who are currently 8th on nine points and Villa are third on 12 points below Vipers and leaders KCCA.
