• UPDF 1-0 Wakiso Giants
• Bright Stars 0-1 KCCA

UPDF secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Wakiso Giants in the Uganda Premier League clash at Bombo Barracks on Tuesday.

Samuel Ssekamatte fired home a penalty to inspire the Army side to a victory.

Ssekamatte held his nerves before superbly converting from the 12-yard mark, sending the goalkeeper James Alitho the wrong way.

The ball went off Musa Ssegujja's hand as he tried to clear Christopher Kawagu's delivery.

It was the Wakiso Giants' first loss in four games played thus far. After securing two victories and a stalemate in the previous three games.

The Army side's most chances came through pacy forward Samson Kigozi, but Alitho made two massive blocks.

It was a physical game, but neither side struggled to take full control of the game.

Habert Asiimwe's effort was cleared off the goalline by defender Benard Muwanga as the Purple Sharks kept knocking.

The victory took UPDF to fourth place with seven points to level Wakiso Giants who are third.

Up next, UPDF will take on KCCA at MTN Omondi Stadium on Saturday, October 19, while Wakiso Giants hosts Vipers on Thursday.
