Police FC edged Mbarara City 1-0 in the Premier League, with the decisive goal arriving 16 minutes from time. The hosts had less of the ball and fewer shots, but made the one clear moment count.
The match was tight and goalless until the 74th minute, when Police FC found the net to make it 1-0. Two yellow cards, one in the 24th minute and one in the 69th, punctuated a scrappy, hard-fought contest before the late breakthrough.
Mbarara City dominated much of the play, holding 52% possession and managing nine shots to Police's seven, including five on target to four. Yet Police took their chance when it mattered, despite being caught offside seven times, to claim the points.
