•SC Villa 0-0 BUL
•Buhimba 0-2 Express
•Vipers 1-1 URA
SC Villa and BUL FC played out a goalless draw in a Uganda Premier League match at Wankulukuku Stadium.
The Jogoos, who were temporarily forced to host away from their usual home ground at Kadiba, struggled to stamp their authority on the match.
They will rue a couple of missed opportunities while also thanking goalkeeper David Lukwago for a string of wonderful saves.
Frank Ssebuufu headed wide from Simon Ssemayange’s cross, while Reagan Mpande fired over from distance and Elvis Ngonde also failed to hit the target.
Mpande had a late chance to win it for the Jogoos but headed over from close range.
At the other end, Lukwago produced brilliant saves to deny Martin Aprem, Simon Achidi and Nicholas Mwere.
Meanwhile, BUL coach Alex Isabirye will be pleased with the resolute display from his side.
BUL have now collected four points off Villa this season, having won the reverse fixture 2-1 in Njeru.
The result will feel like a positive one for BUL, who came into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to NEC FC.
Seated eighth with 35 points, BUL will conclude their campaign against Lugazi FC (H), Kitara FC (H) and UPPC FC (A).
The result leaves Villa fourth on the table with 52 points, now eight behind leaders Vipers SC, who were held by URA FC.
Villa, who lost 2-0 to Kitara in their previous league outing, still have fixtures against Mbarara City FC (A), NEC (A) and UPDF FC (H).
