However, unlike last season when Mbarara city displayed a spectacular performance, this campaign has so far been complicated for the Western Uganda side club and this was their second win of the season having picked the first one against the Hoima newly promoted club Kitara FC a game that ended 1-0.
The Ankole Lions are now at 10points in the 13th position on the 16 teams table log at the same points with BUL FC as the fight to regain their form hopefully starts with this win.
