Juma Balinya did the damage with a second half brace for Police FC, scoring in the 56th and 82nd minutes of play.

Lwanga then ruined it for his club when he was sent off for dangerous play in the 35th minute leaving the battle for the rest of the game with 10 men.
However, the sending off of the player did not stop club marksman, Bashir Mutanda from doubling the lead in the 41st minute, taking his tally to 10 goals.

The point for Abdallah Mubiru’s side leaves them at position 7th with 21 points.
