Cecafa Women's Championship: Uganda finish third after trouncing Burundi

Uganda have finished third in the Cecafa Women's Championship after defeating Burundi 2-0.

The Crested Cranes fell to Tanzania 1-0 in the semi-finals and a win on Monday was vital for them. It was not going to be an easy affair against the Swallows who had suffered a 5-0 loss against Kenya in the previous stage.

Both countries resorted to a cautious approach in the first half with the defenders keeping it clean at the back to avoid conceding first.

However, things were bound to change in favour of the Crested Cranes after the break.
