League champions Vipers SC and Wakiso Giants FC settled for a point each after a one-all stalemate at the Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium, on Tuesday.

Hillary Mukundane‘s second half goal cancelled out Ibrahim Kasule‘s earlier headed effort on a chilly evening in Wakiso.

It is the guests who had the first real threat, but Cromwel Rwothomio’s shot missed the target by a few inches, in the ninth minute.

Two minutes later, the hosts netted through Owen Kasule’s looping header after a mistake from custodian Alfred Macumu Mudekereza.

Yunus Sentamu thought he had netted the equalizer but his 15th minute strong header crashed against the crossbar.

Vipers kick-started the second half in full gear and in the 59th minute, Mukundane took full advantage of a defensive mix-up in the box, to level matters.

Both teams pushed for a winner on numerous occasions until the final whistle hence the game ending in a draw with Wakiso goalkeeper Samson Kirya being the busiest candidate.

Implications of the result and what’s next on the horizon

The Venoms are now tenth with five points, and will return to action on Friday with a visit to Lira against Blacks Power FC at the Aki Bua Stadium.

On the other hand, on the same day, third-placed Wakiso will take on SC Villa at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
