Godfrey Lwesibwa would have opened the score inside five minutes but he ended up heading Arthur Kiggundu s cross from a good position wide. Issa Lumu could not connect well with Lwesibwa s corner moments later as the hosts saw another chance go to waste.

Jude Ssemugabi wasted a chance to make the score 1-1 when his penalty hit the crossbar. The penalty miss helped Wakiso Giants move up to the eighth position after picking up draws in the previous five games. ....
