For the second time this season, the Saints won a match by scoring four goals when they put the said number past fellow relegation candidates, SCVU, in the 4-1 victory on Tuesday.
Isaac Sserunkuma helped himself to a double on 19 and 70 minutes and Isaac Kirabira and Owen Kasule added the others in either half as Moses Basena’s men cruised. Samuel Mutumba scored SCVU’s consolation.
The result was crucial in the Saints’ continued fight for survival in the Azam Uganda Premier League (UPL).
