Tooro United defeated Bright Stars 2-0 at the Buhinga Grounds in one of the four StarTimes Uganda Premier League games played on Thursday afternoon.
Mike Kawooya struck after 21 minutes to ensure that Wasswa Bbosa’s side settles early and dictate the game.
However, despite controlling the majority of the encounter, the home side had to wait until 14 minutes from time to make the points safe as Allan Kayiwa converted from the spot.
This was Tooro’s fifth win of the season and it sees them climb into 10th on the log with 20 points.

Richard Wandyake put the hosts ahead after just 4 minutes and his goal ensured that Peter Onen’s side go into halftime leading 1-0.
A minute to the hour mark, the visitors equalized thanks to Yiga Muhammda’s first goal of the season.
Ten minutes later, Willis Otong restored Bul’s lead with a fine strike and the home side looked to be on their way to a second straight victory after defeating SC Villa 1-0 in the previous game.
However, Asaph Mwebaze’s side had other ideas and with 9 minutes to play, Ibrahim Dada restored purity for the Abanyakare to ensure that both sides walk home with just a single point.
The draw means that Bul remain 5th in the standings with 23 points from their first 15 games while Nyamityobora are still third from bottom, having gathered only 9 points in the first round.
