• Uganda Premier League – Results 
• BUL 2-0 Express 

Ibrahim Oriti scored twice as BUL registered a well-deserved 2-0 victory against Express in the Uganda Premier League encounter at FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru on Saturday.

BUL’s victory guided the Jinja-based side to the summit of the log after 53 days since they dropped on Tuesday, February 27.

Oriti opened the scoring in the 18^th minute as Express finally conceded to the early pressure from the hosts.

After the break, the hosts kept on the front foot seeking to double their lead or even put the icing on the cake.

Express custodian Abubaker Yunus made a spectacular save as he was equal to Jerome Kirya’s long-range effort in the 50^th minute.

Orit finally completed a brace in the 75^th minute as he converted Martin Aprem’s delivery from close range.

Express came close to picking a consolation in the 86^th minute as Safi Mansoor was set up by Edgar Katumba but the hosts’ custodian Tom Ikara made a thrilling save.

The victory guides BUL to the log summit with 46 points while Express are ninth with 32 points in 24 league games.

Next on the menu, BUL will visit NEC while Express will host Kitara on Wednesday, April 24.
