David Obua refuses to be pressured into forcing victories
The Uganda Cranes legend has suffered two successive defeats on the road with URA, but he insists his team follow a certain pattern, and the results will eventually come along.
Bruno Bunyaga and substitute Moses Aliro completed URA's turnaround after Hussein Ssajjabbi and Emmanuel Ajo had given Busoga a first-half lead.
First forward Bunyaga had a third-minute goal contentiously ruled out for offside, leaving the guests frustrated.

Head Coach David Obua will also want to taste his free-flow expressionary playing style against some of the regional heavyweights.
Seven minutes later, Bunyaga looked to have put URA ahead, but goalkeeper Michael Lutaaya made a double save despite it looking like the ball had crossed the line with the second attempt, leaving the game levelled.
In the 13th minute, Ssajjabbi put Busoga in the driving seat, capitalizing on goalkeeper Rogers Omedwa's mistake. Replays later revealed the latter had been fouled in the lead to the goal.
Two minutes off the half-hour mark, Busoga doubled the lead with Ajo taking advantage of an Eric Ssenjobe to tap in an empty net as URA attempted to start play from the back.
In the 68th minute, Bunyaga got his deserved goal, latching on to a Joseph Ssemujju headed pass after an excellent long ball from Omedwa.
With nine minutes left on the clock, Aliro completed the comeback with a low curling effort from outside the box to salvage the Tax Collectors a point.
Following the result, URA lies seventh with 17 points in 12 matches and will host Mbarara City FC on December 29 at the Mehta Stadium, Lugazi.
