Goals from striker Yunus Sentamu and midfielder Bright Anukani were enough to help the hosts sail past Express and command a respectable fifth silverware.

The game didn’t have life at the beginning, but towards the 25th minute, striker Yunus Sentamu opened the scores before he doubled the lead nine minutes later to command a 2-0 halftime. Bright Anukani later scored the third goal in the 60th minute with a shot outside the box.

The result takes Vipers to 64 points, 14 points clear of the second-placed KCCA FC which is their closest competitor with four games left to the end of the 2021/22 season, which automatically gives Vipers the trophy.

This becomes Vipers’ fifth title after winning 2010/11, 2015/16, 2017/18, and 2019/2020 silverware. It also becomes coach Roberto Oliveira’s second trophy at Vipers after winning the Uganda Cup last season.  

In the same development, KCCA FC won their game against Tooro United 2-0 but it was too late for them to catch Vipers which had already made a difference of 14 points. URA also won their game against UPDF.

As it stands now, Vipers have 64 points, followed by KCCA FC with 50 points whilst URA comes third with 49 points. Tooro United is the only team confirmed to be relegated to FUFA Big league, they sit last on the log with just 10 points in 27 games.
