• Mbarara City 1-0 Mbale Heroes

Mbarara City secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Mbale Heroes in the Uganda Premier League at Kakyeka Stadium on Saturday.

Joseph Akadwanaho's solo effort made the difference, earning Mbarara City all three points in a closely contested match.

Mbale Heroes suffered their sixth loss of the season, extending their poor run in the league as they continue to search for a lifeline.

On the other hand, Mbarara City celebrated their maiden home win in four games played at Kakyeka.

Henry Kitegenyi came close to opening the scoring in the 19th minute but failed to beat goalkeeper Paul Majapwani.

Despite creating several half-chances, neither side managed to find the net in the first half, which ended goalless.

The breakthrough came in the 55th minute when Akadwanaho struck with a precise effort that navigated through a crowded defense before nestling into the back of the net.

The victory lifts Mbarara City to 10th place with 12 points, while Mbale Heroes remain rooted at the bottom of the table with just five points.
