Nelson Senkatuka was the star of the show for Soltilo Bright Stars as they beat Express FC on Tuesday at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku. The forward netted a first-half double that was enough to hand Bright Stars their second consecutive win. The Red Eagles completed the match with ten men after midfielder Daniel Shabene was sent off. Senkatuka rounded off goalkeeper Dennis Otim before firing home inside ten minutes and five minutes later,  Shabene was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Cleophus Fiat. The response from Express head coach James Odoch was to replace Marvin Oshaba with Enock Ssebagala. Playing with a numerical advantage, Bright Stars double their lead in the 32nd minute with Senkatuka at the end of a good run of play. Express' opportunity to pull one back went to waste in the second half as Allan Kayiwa was denied with the woodwork from the penalty spot. Victory takes Bright Stars to 7th place with 11 points while Express on the other hand remains 5th with 14 points.
