CHAN 2016 Return Leg: Uganda 0-0 Tanzania (HT)

Aggregate Score: Uganda 3-0 Tanzania

Uganda Cranes and the Tanzania Taifa Stars remain glued goal-less by the opening 45 minutes of action of the CHAN return leg at Nakivubo Stadium in Kampala.

The visitors started the game on bright note winning a first minute corner when Saimon Happgod Msuva’s mazy run down the left was thwarted by Brian Ochwo.

Uganda steadily clawed back into the game and John Ssemazzi would have easily put the hosts ahead had he executed an attempt on target from inside 10 yards after Ssekisambu’s delivery.

Tanzania had a goal disallowed for offside when John Raphael Bocco’s well timed header was cancelled by Djibouti official, Djamal Aden Aden Abdi for off side.

Farouk Miya had a goal bound effort tipped over the bar for a corner by goal keeper, Ally Mustapha.

Uganda still leads 3-0 on aggregate coming into the second where changes are expected from the two sides.
