Lumala scored the winner as Vipers SC beat URA FC 2-0 at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende on Thursday under the floodlights.

The pacy winger latched on a loose back-pass from defender Najib Fesali to round off goalkeeper Denis Otim for Vipers' second of the night.

Gashumba took to her official X handle to salute and pump more courage into her close associate.

"Great job, Abdu Lumala; I know how much this win means to you," Gashumba, who is also an entrepreneur, applauded.

It should be noted that Lumala and musician Rickman Manrick, who is a Gashumba's lover, are long-time friends and even played football together in Sweden in the past.

Lumala has time and again been seen in the company of some of the country's celebrated celebrities. He was also pictured at Kitende on Thursday, gifting his jersey to comedian Alex Muhangi.

Meanwhile, 'electric-man' has scored once and assisted twice in eight games this season.
