Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Vipers Sports Club continued her steady march towards the league title with yet another scintillating performance on Tuesday. The Venoms dispatched Proline in Lugogo 3-1 to brighten the hopes of claiming this season’s championship.

Despite going a goal down early in the game, the team staged a comeback to win the game with two goals coming in the second half. The win means Vipers SC stay top of the table with 55 points in 26 games.

Proline took the lead through Gift Ali in the seventh minute but this did not stop the Venoms from surging forward. There were opportunities to level matters with the team pilling pressure on the home side.

With two minutes to the break, Moses Waiswa levelled matters after Erisa Ssekisambu set him up just outside the area.

Immediately after the break, Dan Sserunkuma almost put the Venom ahead but his headed effort went just wide.

The technical bench called for the first substitution with Pius Wangi coming on for Tom Masiko in the 60th minute.

The change paid off dividends seventeen minutes later when Wangi slotted home with Ssekisambu once again being the creator.

Sserunkuma put the game beyond reach with the third goal for Vipers and his 12th of the season.
