The first half saw limited chances but it was Tanzania with the better chances. Ladaki Chisamba and Omar Mvungi came close with one of the efforts hitting the foot of the post.
The second half belonged to Uganda and took the lead in the 62nd minute through Irinimbabazi, a headed goal off Vicent Mulema’s freekick
Mutyaba got the second, a low drive into the bottom corner, with ten minutes to play after shaking off three defenders but Vincent Mulema connected into his own net seven minutes later to give Tanzania some hope.
