URA FC maintained their top-of-table spot with a 3-1 Police FC at the Arena of Visions in Ndejje.
Steven Mukwala, Joachim Ojera and Cromwell Rwothomio were on target for the Tax Collectors who are targeting their first-ever league title since 2011.
Mukwala broke the deadlock with his 12th goal of the season in the 34th minute when volleyed from a tight angle following Arafat Galiwango’s cross.
Two minutes into the second half, Ojera made it 2-0 after he was set up by Mukwala.
Cromwell put the game beyond Police’s reach with a third goal after an Ashraf Mandela cross at the hour mark. His strike was his ninth of the campaign.
Fahad Kizito scored a consolation for the Cops two minutes to normal time.
URA have now 54 points, one more than second-placed Vipers and two above third-placed Express heading into the final six games. Both Vipers and Express won their respective games 3-1 against Villa and 1-0 against UPDF.
