Fresh from a 2-0 league victory over sworn enemies-Express FC in the League, the Jogoos saw top scorer Bashir Mutanda, David Owori, Ashraf Mandela and Joseph Ssemuju all get onto the score-sheet wile Okot Steven grabbed the visitor’s consolation.
After a barren first 29 minutes, Mutanda put Villa ahead with a fine header off Habib Kavuma’s cross.
Five minutes later, Owori made it 2-0 with a fierce effort from outside the area after he was teed-up by Mutanda.
At the stroke of halftime, Pius Wangi put the result beyond doubt, side-footing Derrick Ndahiro’s cross into the net.
With Villa leading by 3 at half time, the game was done and dusted.
However, two more goals would come in the second with substitute Ssemuju scoring the fourth for the host on 62 minutes while Okot who had earlier tested the Jogoos back-line on several occasions, pulled one back for the visitors, tapping in a Gerrald Ogwet cross with 14 minutes to play.
