• SC Villa 2-0 Arua Hill SC
• UPDF FC 2-0 BUL FC

SC Villa registered a 3-1 victory against Arua Hill SC in the Uganda Premier League at Muteesa II Stadium on Thursday evening.

It was the Villa's second victory in the six games played in the 2023/24 campaign.

On the other side, it was the sixth loss for the Kongolo who continue to have a tough start to the ongoing season.

Nathan Oloro came close to giving Arua Hill the lead in the 15th minute but his effort was blocked by lanky defender Arnold Odong.

Two minutes later, Charles Lwanga miscued the ball with a goalkeeper at his disposal. Patrick Kakande set up the forward with a backhil but the chance was put to waste.

Richard Anyama turned up big in the 25th minute making a double save to deny Arnold Odong and Kenneth Semakula from attempts off a corner kick.

Ronald Ssekiganda finally broke the deadlock with a venomous shot to beat Arua Hill custodian Anyama in stellar fashion.

Umar Lutalo doubled the hosts' lead in the 69th minute after making a good run to tap home Ivan Bogere's freekick as Arua Hill's backline looked on.

SC Villa had a chance to extend their lead but Peter Onzima's pass to release Bogere on the counterattack was far from desired.

With seven minutes to play, Ronald Mpande had a chance to pull back one but he nodded Gadafi Wahab's freekick wide by inches.

In added time, Ozima added salt into Arua Hill's salt with an individual finish after going through a forest of bodies thanks to his pace.

Frank Kalanda pulled back one for the visitors in the last action of the game.

The victory takes Villa to the 8th position with eight points while Arua Hill sits at the bottom of the log with a point.
