Alex Kitata broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute, nodding home Walter Ochora’s long throw, but SC Villa’s hopes were briefly reignited when Reagan Mpande equalized in the 65th minute.

However, the hosts regained the lead five minutes later when SC Villa goalkeeper David Lukwago misjudged Nicolas Mwere’s delivery, allowing the ball to trickle into the net.

The win lifts BUL to seventh position with 16 points, while SC Villa remain fourth with 26 points from 13 league games.

The match was marked by a nasty collision between Kitata and Lukwago, but both players recovered to continue playing.
