U20 World Cup: Tanzania claim slim advantage after comeback against Uganda

Tanzania U20 national team recovered from a goal down to beat Uganda 2-1 in the first leg of the preliminary round of the 2020 Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers on Sunday.

Uganda took a deserved lead when Juliet Nalukenge beat her marker to score from close range but Tanzania kept pressing and managed to secure the win with goals from Diana Msewa and Clement Opa.

Tanzania coach Bakari Shime admitted after the match that his side should have won by a huge margin had they used the chances they created.

“I will take the 2-1 win but of course it should have been more than that,” Shime told reporters.
