Afcon U20: Basangwa lifts visiting Uganda over Tanzania in mini-tournament Goal 03/02/2021 Kiplagat Sang
Uganda U20 recorded a 1-0 win over their Tanzanian counterparts in Wednesday s pre-African Cup of Nations showdown at Chamazi Sports Complex.
The Hippos’ Richard Basangwa scored the only goal that separated the two participants of the pre-Afcon tournament that also involves Namibia.
There was not much action in the first half as both teams played cautiously and few attacks were launched.
Tanzania and Simba SC’s David Kameta was yellow-carded in the 25th minute as Uganda looked determined to venture forward unlike in the opening matches.
They were rewarded with a rather deserving opener in the 43rd minute when Basangwa found the back of the net after he collected a cross from Bobosi Byaruhanga.
