Mugabi, who was recalled to the Uganda Cranes shortly after the match, played a key role for Motherwell in their first win of the season.
Shortly, the hosts went ahead through a Kemal Ademi header forcing Obita and the group to step up their efforts.
Obita saved the situation from getting worse with a timely clearance in the 67th minute to find Alie Youan.

Obita was born in England to Ugandan parents but chose to play for the former. He has played for the English under-18, under-19 and under-20.
The French forward made some side steps before laying in for Martin Boyle to tap in the equaliser.
The match ended 2-2, with the Scottish side winning 5-3 on aggregate and, therefore, advancing to the playoffs of the Conference League, where they’ll face English Premier League side Aston Villa.
Hibernian will host the first leg next Thursday, August 24th, before travelling to England a week later.
The winner of the match will advance to the group stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
