Cecafa Cup: Uganda outwit Eritrea as Crested Cranes thump Djibouti

Uganda defeated Eritrea 2-0 to record a third straight victory in the ongoing Cecafa Senior Men’s Challenge Cup on Wednesday in Lugogo.

Goals from Nicholas Kasozi and Mustafa Kizza were enough to hand Johnathan McKinstry's side a win after their earlier positive results against Burundi and Somalia.

Kasozi put the Cranes ahead in 58th minute to break an Eritrean backline which had proved firm for the better part of the game. Kizza added the second from the spot in the 80th minute as Uganda consolidated their spot at the top of Group A.
