It has been an interesting evening on Tuesday 18th May,2021 in the Star Times Uganda Premier League as Mbarara City FC visited and beat Vipers SC 3:2.

Nick Named the "Ankole Lions", Mbarara City FC recovered from a 2:0 first half lead by Vipers to win 3:2. Goals from Yunus Ssentamu and Paul Mucureezi in the 16th and 26th minutes handed Vipers a first half lead but Mbarara City rose up in the second half to win it in style.

Solomon Okwalinga opened the scoring for the Mbarara City side in the 56th minute, Bashir Mutanda added a second seven minutes later before Jude Ssemugabi sealed it later for the Lions with five minutes to play.

The win moves Mbarara City FC to 10th position with 32 points and 12 above relegation with five matches left and hopeful of surviving relagation this season.
