Entebbe UPPC FC began the contest on the front foot, dominating possession and pressing aggressively high up the pitch. The bright start paid dividends almost immediately.
Kiryowa initiated the move with a clever pass into Bugembe, who drove confidently past two defenders before unleashing a powerful strike from the edge of the box to hand the Printers an early lead.
UPDF FC gradually settled into the game and created a more balanced contest for long spells. The visitors threatened an equaliser midway through the second half when a dangerous cross found its target inside the area, but the resulting header brushed off the crossbar and out for a goal kick.
