• UPDF 1-1 Mbale Heroes

Mbale Heroes hold UPDF in a one-all draw in the Uganda Premier League encounter on Wednesday evening.

In a game that was played at Bombo Barracks, the hosts took the lead through Samuel Ssekamate but Hillary Adima restored parity.

Jeremy Matata missed a glorious chance after putting the ball above the cross bar with only a goalkeeper to beat.

However, UPDF were awarded a penalty after Rashid Farid was tripped in the area by Adrian Sserugo.

Ssekamate stepped up to the ocassion and calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net in the 19th minute.

From that point, UPDF were in full control of the game but the visitors stood tall and firm in the back line.

With six minutes left on the clock, Adima levelled matters to salvage a point for the troubled Mbale Heroes.

After the 1-1 draw, UPDF lie fifth on the log with 17 points while Mbale Heroes are 15th with only nine points after 12 games.
