'Sort your floodlights' - URA coach David Obua tells KCCA amidst recent blackouts
Twice already, the stadium has gone dark as NEC FC played each of Wakiso Giants FC and URA FC in the Uganda Premier League this campaign, painting an unpleasant image.
Meanwhile, Norman Namanya and one from Sekajugo handed the guests some consolation.
It's the Tax Collectors that drew first blood, with Namanya scoring a header from a beautiful Godfrey Ssekibengo freekick in the third minute.
The Kasasiro Boys responded in the second half, with Achayi headed home from close range after URA failed to clear a corner.
A minute to the hour-mark, Obua's charges then contentiously found a second through Sekajugo, despite replays indicating he was in an offside position when he received the ball to score.
Nine minutes later, bad luck struck Sekajugo as he headed into his own net to draw the game level.
After just two minutes, Shaban capitalized on a defensive mistake to lob goalkeeper Rogers Omedwa for the winner.
Having done his job, Shaban was hooked off for Hassan Mubiru after sustaining an injury.
