Vipers, Villa held by ‘underdogs’ in the Uganda Premier League

Kitende based Vipers Sports Club’s effort to lift this season’s  league trophy suffered another setback  as they were held to a one all draw by Soana FC at the St.Mary’s stadium in the Azam Uganda Premier League on Wednesday.

The hosts took the lead on the seventeenth minute mark, thanks to an Erisa Ssekisambu penalty after   a foul on Mousa Mbayi earlier.

Ssekisambu’s goal threw the fans at Kitende in frenzy but the celebrations lasted for only thirty minutes when a lapse by Vipers’ players resulted into a forty seventh minute equalizer   for the visitors, thanks to Baker Buyala, only a few minutes after recess.

The draw on Wednesday at St. Mary’s stadium meant that Vipers have now lost four games in the last two previous games.

The team was on Saturday beaten two one by Police FC in the Azam Uganda Premier League in the Azam Uganda Premier League.
