Soltilo Bright Stars FC delivered a commanding performance on the road, defeating Mbale Heroes FC 2–0 at the Mbale City Stadium in a pulsating FUFA Big League encounter. The victory — built on discipline, intensity, and clinical finishing. This win lifts the Stars to 11 points, propelling the club into the promotion positions for the first time this season.
From the first whistle, Soltilo Bright Stars showed intent and purpose, controlling possession and dictating the tempo in a fixture traditionally known for its high pressure and hostile atmosphere. Captain Sharif Nsereko set the tone early, marshalling the midfield with authority and driving the team forward with trademark aggression and intelligence.
It was Nsereko who broke the deadlock on the stroke of halftime from the spot with precision to give Bright Stars a deserved 1–0 lead. The goal energized the side further, and the momentum continued to swing in the visitors’ favour.
In the second half, Safi Mansoor doubled the advantage with a cool, composed finish after a well-worked attacking sequence. His goal sealed the result and demonstrated the attacking sharpness that the team has been steadily building in recent weeks.
Defensively, the Stars were faultless. The backline maintained outstanding concentration throughout, shutting down Mbale Heroes’ attempts to get back into the game and ensuring goalkeeper Peterson Sseruwooza had a largely quiet evening.
This crucial away win marks a significant moment in Bright Stars’ campaign — not only securing three valuable points but also setting the momentum for the remainder of the first round.
The team now shifts focus to the next fixture against Onduparaka FC at home as momentum continues to build both on the pitch and across the fanbase.
