It was Isaac Ssenyunja who handed the visitors a lead through a far post header.
Before Isaac gifted Bugema University a lead, Julius Kibukuna had to make a classic save to a Bukenya deflected ball that came in the box from a low cross from the right flank.
First stanza ended when Bugema is in a 1-0 lead.
