Fahim Ssaka gave Omutima Musaggi the lead in the 50^th minute.

Moments upon restart of play, Bruno Bunyaga, a player at Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) brought the game level with the equalizer.

Bunyaga also found the winner during the closing stages of the game to send Ngabi Nsamba to the final.

The early kick off on the same day witnessed Mpindi triumph 1-0 over Nkima.
