Uganda Cranes earned third place in group B at the 2018 Africa Nations Championship after drawing goalless with Ivory Coast.
In a dead rubber played at Marrakech, neither team tried hard to win but how did the individual Cranes players rated on the day.
Ismail Watenga 6.0: Never tested but always alert whenever the ball came his way.
Nicholas Wadada 5.0: The Vipers SC man did well going forward but his cross remained disappointing throughout the game as it never beat the first man.
Aggrey Madoi 5.0: Started slow as usual and looked to struggled against the speedy and tricky Forsinho but later grew in stature and formed a good partnership with Isaac Muleme.
Musitafa Mujuzi 5.0: He made his debut and despite his age, looked unfazed as he rarely put his foot wrong.
Bernard Muwanga 5.5: His partnership with Musitafa was okay only that he played so many long balls when passing to the midfielders would have made more sense.
Taddeo Lwanga 7.0: Arguably Cranes best performer at CHAN. Like in the game against Namibia, he didn’t put a foot wrong as he shielded the backline well and his passing; long and short was fantastic.
Ibrahim Sadam Juma 7.0: Passed the ball well and nearly gave Uganda the win with a low effort from the edge of the 18 yard box. Showed glimpse of a midfielder we all know he can be.
Allan Kyambadde 5.0: Played in the 10 role behind the main forward but struggled to assert his influence although he had moments of brilliance.
Milton Karisa 5.0: Again, a shadow of the player who terrorized Zambia on match day one but you can’t fault his effort.
Derrick Nsibambi 5.0: More of a spectator in the first half hour due to lack of service but was okay when he got involved with his hold up play.
Isaac Muleme 5.0: He played in an advanced role and though had much of the ball; his final ball remained unfriendly especially with crosses.
Substitutes
Muzamiru Mutyaba 5.0: Replaced Kyambadde on the hour mark and decent touches on the ball but not enough to influence the game’s outcome.
Nelson Senkatuka 5.0: Came on for Nsibambi but also lacked service just like the man he replaced.
