2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Bayo does it again to lift Uganda past Rwanda

Uganda sealed the double over neighbours Rwanda to record their second straight win in the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches on Sunday.

The Cranes were coming up against Amavubi after they had beaten them 1-0 at Nyamirambo Stadium in Kigali three days ago and it was the same player – Fahad Bayo – who scored in the 22nd minute to hand them the win at St. Mary’s Kitende Stadium in Kampala.

Uganda under coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic came into the game missing the services of midfielder Khalid Aucho, who was suspended after receiving two straight yellow cards against Kenya and Rwanda.
