Braga 1-2 Rio Ave
Uganda Cranes crafty winger William Kizito Luwagga played part in Rio Ave’s 2-1 win at Braga in the Portuguese League Cup on Thursday night.
Rui Fonte gave the home side the lead on 11 minutes but lost the advantage when Roderick Miranda equalized with a well converted penalty eight minutes later.
The penalty followed a foul on Tarantini in the forbidden area.
Heldon scored Rio Ave’s second two minutes to the mandatory half time break thanks to Ruben Ribeiro’s donkey work.

Luwagga who played 72 minutes of the game will fly directly to Tunisia to join with the rest of the Uganda Cranes teammates.
