A penalty on 30 minutes by Allan Okello after Wakiso Giants custodian James Alitho foolishly fouled forward Milton Karisa set the visitors in motion. 

Karisa would calmly finish of a rebound after an attack initiated by Okello to put the game beyond the Purple Sharks' reach. "There were positives and negatives but the key thing we got a first away win of the season. 

"We had to give Okello a rest towards the end of the game and I'm happy them boys are reacting to my tactics and instructions," Ayala revealed. 

Vipers are now top of the table and played with purpose and renewed hunger.
