AFCON qualifier: Uganda trailing at half time against S.Sudan

AFCON 2021 QUALIFICATION

Ten-man Uganda Cranes are trailing at half time against South Sudan in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.

Moments after Khalid Aucho's dismissal after being redcarded after half-an-hour of play, South Sudan were gifted with a penalty, which Gor Mahia forward Tito Okello stepped forward to bury home past Denis Onyango to give the hosts of the day a crucial lead in this Group B encounter.

Will Johnathan McKinstry's men, who were considered the pre-match favorites, recover in the coming 45 minutes?

Plenty of work to do for the Ugandans.

The Cranes came into this early-week duel joint-group leaders with Burkina Faso after all teams, including Malawi, playing three games.

Whatever the result of this game, it will definitely determine the complexion of the group.
