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.

The managers of the mine have been detained for waiting more than a day to report the accident, the cause of which has not yet been announced.
Meanwhile, both the local Communist Party secretary and the mayor have been dismissed over the 30-hour delay and an official investigation is underway to determine the cause of the explosion.
Recent improved regulations have boosted safety in China s mining industry, which used to see an average of 5,000 deaths per year. However, accidents are still common, and many mines still cut safety corners. In December, 23 workers died after getting stuck underground in a coal mine in Chongqing.
