URA coach Sam Simbwa is a happy man after he saw his side climb to third in the StarTimes Uganda Premier. 

"I feel contented that we are now third since that was our target as the technical team. This has been because of hard work and I am confident we can move on to be second," stated Simbwa.

His side beat Express 1-0 on Tuesday at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole after Ronald Kigongo's strike in the 77th minute saw URA register its tenth win this season. 

"It was not an easy game since Express had studied our style of play but we just had to put in an extra mile for us to win. The injuries we also sustained also cost us," he added.

The victory put URA on 42 points, three and seven behind Vipers and KCCA respectively who were not in action.

Elsewhere, Allan Kayiwa scored the only goal as Tooro United beat ten-man BUL 1-0 at Wankulukuku Stadium.

This was the first game for Tooro United to be played away from its home area in Fort Portal as Buhinga Stadium is set to undergo renovation works.

Midfielder Patrick Sembuya was sent off late for BUL to compound their misery.
