Little-known points about Uganda

Uganda had to be content with the one point they got thanks to Uche Ikpeazu, but it was just that, as Alan Okello conceded the next moment with a missed penalty for Tanzania (1-1).

Both teams had come back from losses on their debuts and their success depended on whether they had a real chance of progressing to the finals, but the situation has become very complicated as Tunisia and Nigeria, who play each other on the final day, have a chance of winning. Therefore, the main objective is to consider being one of the four best third parties to advance to the round of 16 as well.

It was an embarrassing result for Uganda, but all things considered, thankfully they managed to save a point. It was a very even match and the second half started with a goal for the opponents (59th minute). This was due to Simoun Msbah’s penalty after a handball in the Baba area. Fortunately, they persevered and Uche scored the equalizer with a flat shot with 10 minutes remaining (80 minutes). Okello, known in his homeland as ‘Starchild’, missed a chance to win after Mnoga’s penalty against Bogere, and his shot went over the bar.
