The City Boys made a fast start, scoring in the first minute through Kizito John Paul, who finished at the far post after a move set up by Ledule Simon.
ISBAT doubled their advantage in the 15th minute when Andeku Abdurahman capitalised on Bugema’s failure to deal with Ssentongo Joshua’s cross.
Bugema tried to respond but struggled to turn their possession into goals. Kidawalime missed the target after a move involving Kamulungi and Male Joseph, while Mwandah Jonah also failed to score after creating space inside the ISBAT defence.
ISBAT goalkeeper Kalulu Nasser kept his side ahead with a save from Ssentongo’s effort in the 35th minute.
Bugema returned for the second half with more urgency and continued pressing for a goal. Their efforts paid off in the 70th minute when Tuhimbisbwe Innocent struck a powerful shot from the edge of the box to reduce the deficit. Mwandah Jonah provided the assist.
The Luwero based side pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, creating further chances through Ssentongo and Akatanbira, but ISBAT defended their lead to secure all three points.
The result gives ISBAT a 2-1 win in the 2026/27 Pepsi University Football League campaign, while Bugema will be looking to get their season back on track after a difficult start.
