The visitors started brightly with Senkaaba running down URA FC’s backline but was unsuccessful on three minutes although he tacked the ball away eight minutes later.
After taking the lead, the Red Eagles continued to press looking to double the lead and winger Charles Musiige would have in the 35th minute but his effort went agonizingly wide on the far post.
Skipper Enock Walusimbi was unlucky after his effort hit the post only for URA goalkeeper Hannington Ssebulunyo to pick up the pieces with seven minutes to the break.
