Vipers SC suffered their first defeat of the 2020-21 campaign after they lost 1-0 to Mbarara City in a Ugandan Premier League match at Kakyeka Stadium on Saturday.
The Venoms were among the two unbeaten sides in the top-flight, the other being Express FC, but the champions produced a poor display to go down to the relegation-threatened side.
Going into the match, Vipers had the chance to move top of the 16-team table had they won the tie but instead, disaster struck in the 51st minute when Bashir Asiku’s miscalculation of a long ball allowed Robert Kitegenyi to neatly chip Allan Ssekagya for the only goal of the game.
