In the 13th minute Fahad Bayo pounced on a rebound to give the Venoms a deserved lead.

Mwemezi made it 3-1 in the 19th minute as the hosts crumbled under pressure from the visitors.

Bayo completed his brace from the penalty spot in the 57th minute when Ibrahim Sendi committed a foul in the danger zone, and the referee awarded the visitors a penalty.

Hakim Kiwanuka scored for Proline in the 85th minute to make it 4-2 but the damage had already been done.

Vipers are now leading the 16-team log with 42 points from 17 games played so far.
