BUL FC’s impressive start to the season continued with a hard fought 2-1 away win against Tooro United in Fort Portal.
Peter Onen’s coached team rallied from a goal down to win all three thanks to substitute Musa Esenu and Robert Mukongotya.
Striker Yafesi Mubiru drew first blood for the home side with his first goal of the season but was unfortunate to miss a decisive penalty in the closing stages of the encounter.

In-form striker Mukongotya was at it again with the winning goal in the 83rd minute which is his fourth of the season.
