Ibrahim Orit scored the all important goal as Vipers edged wasteful URA FC 1-0 in the Uganda Premier league contest at Nakisunga playground on Saturday.
Orit’s 70th minute strike was enough to inspire the Venoms to their fourth consecutive win after victories over Blacks Power, Arua Hill and UPDF FC.
Right back Ashraf Mandela made a return to the starting Vipers lineup after recovering from the injury he sustained against Arua Hill weeks ago.
URA FC missed several scoring opportunities during the entertaining contest at Nakisunga.
