The dominance continued reflected in three successive corners by the quarter hour mark.
The two sides were forced into quick changes due to injuries, Serge Akakpo paved way for Fessou Placca as midfield gem, Khalid Aucho gave way to Geofrey Kizito.
A text book move involving William Luwagga Kizito on the right was finished off by Miya after a Godfrey Walusimba’s well laid ball in the path of an on-rushing Miya for his second.
The third arrived just at the stroke of half time,from the man of the moment, Miya. Joseph Ochaya crossed before Massa headed the ball that Miya struck with a well timed half volley.
The second half witnessed Cranes return a more wasteful side as the West Africans struggled to get a footing.
Micho later introduced Moses Oloya and Brian Umony for Godfrey Walusimbi and William Luwagga Kizito respectively.
Tom Sainfiet, the Belgian born with Togo replaced Matthieu Dossevi for Kwame Mawuena.
Oloya’s introduction added pace and urgency to the Cranes and his combination with Iguma on the right almost gifted Uganda the fourth goal but Tonny Mawejje headed high of the posts with the goal keeper already beaten.
Massa further put to waste clear cut scoring opportunities but the damage had been already inflicted.
Madagascan FIFA referee, Nampiandraza El Mousssa signaled full time much to the delight of the over 40,000 spectators in the Namboole stands.
