Six-time Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC managed an edgy 1-0 victory over UPDF FC at the Bombo Military Barracks playgrounds on Sunday.
Livingstone Mulondo scored the game's only goal to help the Venoms clinch three points on enemy territory.
However, head coach Leonard Martins Neiva reserved the most significant praise for young goalkeeper Jack Komakech for his consistent excellence this season.
"The goalkeeper Jack played very well; it's one more game and one more clean sheet for him," the Brazilian said in a post-match interview.
"That's very good of him. The defensive line played well; Mulondo, Torach and Matovu (Richard)."
Komakech has started eight of the nine league matches this season, keeping five clean sheets and conceding just as many.
