At the start of the second stanza, Viane Ssekajugo and Shafik Kagimu paved way for Jackson Nunda and Joackim Ojera in URA’s double change.
On the other hand Robertinho Oliviera introduced Musa Ssali for injured Siraje Sentamu.
Nunda brought life to the Tax Collector’s midfield engineering a number of dangerous passes but Vipers defense stood tall to clear the area.
Four minutes past the hour mark, Milton Karisa flicked the ball to meet on running Sentamu, he chipped the ball beyond Alionzi and scored in an empty net.
Vipers later suffered two forced changes that saw Sentamu and Fabien Mutobora pave way for Denis Kiggundu and Paul Mucureezi due to injuries.
