    BUL has claimed the top spot in the Uganda Premier League standings after securing a 1-0 win against URA on Match-day Six. In a closely contested match at Njeru, the game saw both teams fighting tenaciously for control.

    The first half of the match was characterized by a lack of clear scoring opportunities, but the second half brought the much-awaited breakthrough. Alex Kitata, emerged as the hero with a decisive goal, and his strike gave BUL the lead they needed to maintain their flawless start in the league.

    The turning point came early in the second half when a defensive lapse from URA presented an opening for Kitata. He seized the opportunity and netted the crucial goal that ultimately secured the victory for BUL.

    URA, despite showing great determination in the first half, was met with solid goalkeeping by Ikara, who made a series of remarkable saves to deny their numerous scoring chances.

    In the tense second half, Ikara was the linchpin for BUL, as he continued to thwart URA’s efforts to level the score. He made critical saves, frustrating players like Okech and Ssemujju. Additionally, BUL’s defense, under immense pressure from URA, received ample support from their goalkeeper, with Ikara stopping Begisa’s attempts.

    After securing the lead, BUL gained momentum, showing impressive control over the game and creating opportunities to extend their advantage. However, URA managed to regain some influence over the match as the game wore on.

    In the latter stages of the match, URA aimed to equalize, but Ikara was a formidable obstacle, making superb saves to keep BUL’s lead intact. He denied Lubwama’s free-kick and Kimbowa’s header, while Ahimbisibwe missed a golden opportunity to score an open-net goal.

    The match concluded with an exciting sequence, as Ochora’s goal-line clearance prevented URA from equalizing. Despite their relentless efforts, URA suffered their first defeat on the road, which kept them in the sixth position on the league table.

    Looking ahead, BUL is set to face UPDF, while URA will host Kitara in their upcoming matches.
