To move top, KCCA FC who held the helm prior to the evening, drew 2-2 with Onduparaka FC at the Greenlight Stadium in a game that was interrupted due to fans invasion at the death. The game was called off with a few minutes to go.

Milton Karisa then added a second, two minutes later after a superb individual work off the right.

Karisa then turned provider for the third, squaring in for Anukani to hit a powerful shot for the third at 19 minutes.

At the half hour mark, Yunus Sentamu tapped home the fourth after great movement by Aziz Kayondo down the left.

At the 36th minute, our Congolese magnifico, Manzoki powered in a thumping header for the fifth from Karisa’s second assist of the day.

The first half party was not about to end as youngster and debutant Emmanuel Munoobi scored his first Vipers goal, off a 41st minute penalty spot.

The visitors returned after half time energized and scored their first in the 51st minute through Sabir Yasir.

In the 66th minute, Salim Hood added a second for the army boys for some lifeline.
