- BUL 0-2 Mbarara City
Mbarara City secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory against BUL in the Uganda Premier League at Lugazi Stadium on Wednesday.
Seri Arigumaho scored a brace as the Ankole Lions registered their maiden victory of the 2024-25 league campaign.
It’s not looking good for BUL who have now lost two games on a bounce after being held in two draws.
On-form forward, Arigumaho broke the deadlock in the 40th minute with a powerful shot that pierced the ball through a forest of legs.
Returning for the second half, Reagan Kalyowa and Ibrahim Mugulusi came on to replace Martin Aprem and George Kasonko.
Ten minutes into the second half, Mugulusi came close as his free bounced off the frame as Mbarara custodian Abdul Kimera stuck on his feet.
On top of the hour mark, Arigumaho doubled the visitors’ lead with a simple touch from close range after BUL failed to stop Mbarara’s counterattack.
In the 72nd minute, second-half substitute Yafesi Mubiru failed to make contact with a darling delivery from Mugulusi on the left flank.
The victory takes Mbarara City to the sixth position with five points while BUL is 15th with two points after four games.
Up next, Mbarara City will face off against Kitara on Friday, September 18, while BUL will be away against URA on the same day.
