Tooro United’s final change witnessed gangly forward Steven Omvia come on for Yefesi Mubiru.

Mbarara City introduced bow legged midfielder Gadafi Gadihno for Raymond Onyai with two minutes to the full time mark but it was too late to make an impact.

Muhumuza was named the pilsner man of the match, a feat that comes with Shs 100,000 and a plaque.
