Ayikobua opened the scoring as early as the second minute for the lead.

Despite the dominance, the defence of English youngsters remained water-tight as the opening half ended 1-0.

Skipper Mujab Toto acrobatically volleyed home for the second goal and Ssebi added the other moments later.

Second half subsistutes John Brian Otim, Murushid Wandera and Hakim Hussein Ssulu all exerted pressure but goal scoring remained their major under-doing.

In the second classification game for the other Ugandan side, Kibuli S.S, Nigeria recovered from a goal down to win the contest 2-1.

Kibuli will now play European side Bulgaria who are led by towering forward Emre Daudov.

Meanwhile, St Noa Girls School Zzana’s flamboyant run at the championship continued with a 3-0 win over France in the quarter finals at the Mohammed VI Sports complex.

Jowelia Nagadya notched a brace and Miriam Ayoo added the other.

Both Nagadya’s goals arrived in the first half (inside a space of one minute) and Ayoo’s strike was icing on the cake in the second half.

St Noa Girls School will now play China 2 in the semifinals on Thursday.

The state minister of sports in Uganda Hon. Peter Ogwang watched Amus and St Noa’s games.
