Uganda Cranes has bowed out of the on-going CHAN finals in Rwanda after a 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe Warriors this Wednesday evening.




Uganda needed to beat Zimbabwe and hope that Mali would lose to Zambia to progress from the group stages. Unfortunately none of that happened as Zambia and Mali played to a goal-less draw, meaning that they qualify for the quarter finals.

The game witnessed the Uganda Cranes’ skipper, Faruku Miya return to action after that shoulder injury against Mali.

Miya had a chance at goal with a greatly curled a free kick saved by goal keeper, Tatenda Marshal in the first half.

The technical bench replaced central defender, Richard Kasagga for striker Samson Ceasar Okhuti.

Later, goal hero Geofrey Sserunkuma and Edrisa Lubega came in for  Muleme and Ssekisambu respectively.
