Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At business stage of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, Muhammad Ssenfuma’s Maroons showed their true colours and charisma.<\/p>\n

The Prison Warders zestfully invaded Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium on Friday and outdid Wakiso Giants in literally all aspects.<\/p>\n

The hard earned 2-1 victory temporarily lifted them to 22 points in ninth slot while John Luyinda’s Purple Sharks remained fifth on the log with 26 points.<\/p>\n

An own goal by Wakiso Giants defender Ambrose Arinda on 49 minutes and substitute Nicholas Kigozi’s well taken strike on 73 minutes were enough to give Maroons a rare away win.<\/p>\n

Arinda had atoned for his sins on 69 minutes with a thumping leveller after Maroons failed to cater for a dead ball situation.<\/p>\n

It has been almost a routine for the Luzira side to make a back and forth switching in the top flight league.<\/p>\n

Mwebaze on cloud nine <\/b><\/p>\n

Maroons former coach Asaph Mwebaze is a delighted man after his Soltilo Bright Stars whipped Blacks Power 3-1 at Kavumba Stadium to go sixth with 24 points from 17 matches.<\/p>\n

Striker Denis Kaka netted a double on 31 and 74 minutes while Sam Ssenyonjo scored in the 90th minute for the home side that also embraces beautiful football.<\/p>\n

Simon Masika and Ahmed Amayo had scored for Hussein Mbalagu’s side in between Kala’s brace and Ssenyonjo’s stoppage time winner.<\/p>\n

At the Fufa Technical Center-Njeru, Busoga United eased their relegation worries with a 1-0 victory over UPDF with Thomas Ochungo grabbing the winner on 88 minutes.<\/p>\n

Ochungo’s exploits as Busoga pulled out of the red zone to 15 points in 12th position, earned him the man of the match accolade.<\/p>\n
