Tusubira, from the free kick, found Agau who doubled the lead for Maroons with a shot in the bottom corner.
Kacancu pulled one back with a solo effort, the midfielder dribbled past three Maroons defenders before scoring past Hannington Ssebwalunyo who had moved off his line.
Sebbunza leveled matters from the spot, shooting into the roof after Bayiga’s handball inside the forbidden area.
Bright Stars caught Maroons backline flatfooted with Mukwala nodding a free header after a build up play that was orchestrated by Tibiita Laban and Tusubira.
The visitors tried to push for an equalizer but Juma Sebaduka’s right wing cross was pushed out by the goalkeeper.
