The Kitende side now sits four points ahead of leaders BUL FC, who beat Wakiso Giants FC 3-0 on Saturday.

FOOTBALL CAF CL Wrap: Mixed results for Aucho's Young Africans, Onyango's Sundowns
Meanwhile, Aucho played from start to finish, and his display in the middle of the park was key to a hugely massive draw against Africa's finest team.
Meanwhile, in Bombo, the hosts nearly grabbed a fifth-minute opener, but Yunus Sentamu's curling effort off a Bright Anukani pass missed the target by inches.
Five minutes later, the Venoms broke the deadlock through a Mulondo shot after a defensive mix-up after a corner.
It should have been two in the 25th minute, but Milton Karisa's goal was denied after a supposed foul in the buildup.
Seven minutes after restart, Sentamu should have doubled Vipers' lead, but his effort off Abdu Lumala's through ball was tamed by goalkeeper Simon Mabuya.

Mukasa is considered a massive prospect in English football and is seen by many as a future superstar.
UPDF then got reduced to ten men after a sending-off to defender Aggrey Kiirya for a second bookable offence as he fouled Ghanaian forward Fumador Asiwome.
With three minutes to the 90, the visitors nearly added a second, but substitute Rodriguez Shamamba was denied by Mabuya, following superb work from Asiwome and Marvin Joseph Youngman.
