At 2-0, Lubega replaced Kristofer Piht in the 56th minute but could make any significant impact to reduce the club’s deficit.
The Uganda Cranes forward has so far scored two goals in the three games he has played for Paide Linnameeskond.
Paide Linnameeskond are 5th on the Estonian Premium Liiga table with six points collected from four games while Levadia lead with 12 points.
