Entebbe UPPC finally tasted victory again on Thursday, exorcising the demons of a five - match winless streak with a gritty 2-1 comeback over Buhimba United Saints at Royal Park.
The "Printers" arrived in Butema under a heavy cloud of pressure, having failed to secure three points since late february. For much of the first half, it looked like that drought might continue. The relegation - threatened Saints struck first in the 36th minute via Anwar Ntege, a goal that momentarily threatened to sink the visitors further into their mid-season rut.
The momentum shifted before the interval. Ambrose Kigozi proved to be the spark Entebbe needed, finding the equalizer in the 41st minute to silence the home crowd and reset the tactical board for the second half.
The game remained a tense, high-stakes stalemate until the dying embers of the match. In the 92nd minute, the breakthrough arrived in fortuitous fashion: Issa Mubiru's cross took a wicked deflection that beat the keeper, sparking wild celebrations on the Entebbe bench and leaving the hosts in disbelief.
To make matters worse for Buhimba, David Kasaija saw red in the final moments. The loss leaves the saints anchored in the relegation zone, while Abdallah Mubiru's side leaps back into 5th place, re-energizing their campaign just as the season enters its final, decisive stretch,
After weeks of draws and narrow defeats to the likes of SC Villa and Kitara, the Printers have finally found their clinical edge-even if it took until the final whistle to find it.
