Cranes seize advantage over Somalia

CHAN 2020 Qualifiers

Somalia 1 Uganda 3

Uganda Cranes brightened their chances of qualifying for the next round of the 2020 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers after beating Somalia 3-1 on Saturday.                                         

Due to the insecurity in Mogadishu, the first leg was played at the Al Haji Hussein Guled Stadium in neighbouring Djibouti.

Patrick Kaddu, Mustafa Kizza and Tadeo Lwanga each scored for Uganda to etch out a healthy first-leg advantage.

The winner between Uganda and Somalia over the two legs will face the victorious side between Burundi and South Sudan in the second round.
