The visitors could have taken the lead through Miiro from a Kato delivery but the hosts made a timely inception to block the ball from seeing the back of the net.
It was an end to end affair in the opening half hour this time Kasaga finding Ssejjange with a through ball but his shot went over the bar.
Mbarara caught Makerere on the break but substitute Agaba’s shot was deflected by Katembako into the gloves of the Goalkeeper Zzimula.
Nothing could separate the two sides in the opening 45 minutes.
Makerere came back more hungry in the second half with just two minutes into the second stanza Omwemugisha Bahinguzi broke the deadlock with a powerful shot in the 47th minute to give the hosts the lead.
Musaazi made a timely inception to clear the ball after Ssejjange was looking for Okeny as the hosts were looking for the second goal.
In the 70th minute, Kasaga Sadat doubled the hosts lead with a powerful header at the near post.
Okeny could have made it three for the hosts but his header went over the bar from a nice delivery from Kasaga before Ssekimbegga low cross was cleared away.
