Ending the three decade spell less taking part in the AFCON will come at a dear cost for the vaunting Cranes.
There is nothing that will count as goals when they take on Congo Brazaville in a vital African Cup of Nations’ Qualifier at Namboole stadium on Saturday. The simplest way Uganda can bury the 3-1 loss in Brazaville is to score two and concede none. No other result will matter save for a three goal margin. A 3-1 score in the hosts’ favour brings spot kicks into the frame.
This is why scoring
and putting the ball into the net is the most important thing on the day.
Cranes have atleast scored on their last three dates, including two away vital goals; Emmanuel Okwi’s late strike in Luanda and Mike Serumaga’s consolation in Brazaville.
Bobby Williamson’s men on the pitch need to convert all their chances before we begin thinking of the 34-year barreness.
