Allan Okello, continuing his impressive form, doubled the lead with a close-range finish. The goal came from a well-orchestrated team move, with Karim Watambala providing the final assist.

The hosts responded at the half-hour mark, as Warren Buule took advantage of a goalmouth scramble to pull one back for Bright Stars.

In the second half, Bright Stars came close to an equalizer, but Nelson Senkatuka's effort was denied by the upright.
