Dissan Galiwango scored twice to inspire Express to a 2-1 victory on the road away to Tooro United in the Uganda Premier League at the St. Paul Seminary grounds in Fort Portal on Saturday.

Willy Kavuma scored a first half penalty on the half hour mark, netting from the spot to give Tooro United the lead.

Galiwango then took the matters into his own hands, finding the back of the net twice, to take his personal tally to six goals this term.

Tooro United, under Eric “Kawoowo” Ndifuna has struggled to find a footing since that magical 1-0 win over the reigning champions KCCA in October.

They managed to beat Mbarara City 1-0 in Fort Portal days after suffering a 3-0 loss to Onduparaka in Arua, a game where Richard Wasswa Bbosa announced his resignation from the club.

Galiwango was named the pilsner man of the match for the outstanding performance on the evening.
