Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>To celebrate or not celebrate? That is the question that dazed URA striker Steven Mukwala the moment he put the last nail in Vipers coffin on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mukwala\u2019s well weighted left-footed shot into the back of the net on 59 minutes at the Arena of Visions in Ndejje put URA into a healthy 2-0 lead \u2013 and eventually helping the Tax Collectors to a prized 2-1 win to pull three points clear at the top of the StarTimes Uganda Premier league table.<\/p>\n

Mukwala\u2019s wrath was the second time in a week that Vipers had been crushed by a player they deemed surplus to requirement after Henry Kitegenyi\u2019s lone striker for Mbarara City.<\/p>\n

\u201cScoring against Vipers came with mixed emotions. It felt great because as a striker scoring goals gives a really good feeling but I couldn\u2019t celebrate the way I would wanted to just to show some respect for my former club,\u201d Mukwala said.<\/p>\n

URA, now on 33 points from 14 matches, are three points ahead of Vipers, who looked nowhere close to matching coach Sam Ssimbwa\u2019s tactical master class.Apart from skipper Shafiq Kagimu, who dragged URA into the lead on 37 minutes with a low shot after Vipers custodian Fabian Mutombora had fumbled the ball, Mukwala\u2019s also harbours grand targets this campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy target is to score more goals than I did last season,\u201d said Mukwala, who topped the charts with 13 goals on loan at Maroons last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt URA I feel important, I get the playing time every player wants. It is really great being here. Cromwell (Rwothomio) and I have such a strong understanding of each other on the pitch.\u201dWith a game left for the first round to wind up, the four-time league winners who have now beaten title rivals KCCA, Police and Vipers \u2013 only tumbling against Express.<\/p>\n

Express, KCCA falter<\/b><\/p>\n

Express had a glorious chance to leap frog Vipers to second but a barren draw with Kyetume at Wankulukuku keeps them in third on the log with 29 points.<\/p>\n

Wasswa Bbosa\u2019s Express might need to show that they can find their boots without injured George Ssenkaaba when they face Police on Wednesday. Against Kyetume, Ssenkaaba\u2019s surrogate Eric Kambale\u2019s every effort was matched by goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa.<\/p>\n

Fourth placed KCCA needed Sadat Anaku wonderful equaliser to deny Police victory and bragging rights at Lugogo on Friday. Forward Muwadda Mawejje had put Police in front. Busoga United picked only their second league win of the season, beating Wakiso Giants 1-0 courtesy of Sharif Kimbowa\u2019s 69th minute goal, while Soltilo Bright Stars ended their five-game win-less run away to Mbarara City, with winger Joseph Akandwanaho giving coach Baker Mbowa a much needed respite.<\/p>\n

Record champions SC Villa yesterday leap-frogged Onduparaka to 13th thanks to substitute Nicholas Kabonge\u2019s stoppage time goal for a 1-0 win.<\/p>\n
