With just two minutes of thw 90 to play, it was BUL’s turn to try their luck from 12 yards but just like Sekajugo, Hamis Tibita could only look on in disgust as his attempt was pushed away to safety by Wakiso custodian Derrick Emukule after Alex Komakech was deemed to have handled in the area.

Richard Wandyake and James Otim came close for the hosts while Dennis Okot and Joseph Ssemuju squandered good opportunities.
For Wakiso, Ssenyonjo had a shot blocked while Sekajugo rattled the woodwork.
