Express FC registered their first victory of the season with a 2-0 away win over Busoga United on Thursday at Njeru.
Allan Kayiwa and an own goal from Stephen Odongo earned the Red Eagles their first three points.
Last season’s top scorer Kayiwa gave the visitors the lead from the spot after Odongo had fouled Isaac Wagoina in the forbidden area in the first period.
James Odoch coached side secured maximum points when Odongo netted in his own net in the second half.
Bashamu Mugwa thought he had found a consolation for the hosts but his joy shortlived as he was flagged offside.
Busoga have now suffered two consecutive defeats and will next host Mbarara City at Njeru.
Express FC will next face off with Bright Stars at Muteesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku.
