SC Villa climbed to the summit of the Uganda Premier League after edging out UPDF FC 1-0 at Bombo Military Barracks Ground on Tuesday. The victory marked their fifth consecutive win, solidifying their impressive form this season.

The match's decisive moment came in the 65th minute when Ibrahim Kasinde coolly converted a chance to break the deadlock. Reagan Mpande nearly added a second two minutes later, but UPDF goalkeeper Abdul Kimera produced a crucial save to keep the deficit minimal.

With this result, SC Villa now leads the table with 16 points, two ahead of rivals Police FC and KCCA FC, who have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Maroons FC delivered a dominant performance in Tuesday's other fixture, thrashing Lugazi FC 3-0 in Luzira. Goals from Raymond Walugembe, Jackson Nunda, and Ivan Asaba sealed the comprehensive win for the Prison Warders.
