Rwothomio doubled the advantage in the 51st minute after the hosts failed to defend from Said Kyeyune’s free kick.
Former URA forward Vitalis Tabu was denied by Alitho James, Rashid Okocha shot wide and Bhetto’s header was cleared off the line as Onduparaka tried to mount a come-back.
URA have now accumulated nine points while Onduparaka remains with 15 points but lose their top spot to BUL who stunned KCCA.
