The Hippos scored their goals in the second half after a goalless first 45 minutes, to get their continental campaign off to a winning start
Uganda have gone top of Group A in the Africa U20 Cup of Nations after their 2-0 win over Mozambique at Olympic Stadium in Nouakchott on Monday.
The East Africans scored their goals courtesy of Derrick Kakooza and Steven Sserwadda.
The Hippos came into the match knowing a win by a two-goal margin was enough to take them top of their group ahead of Cameroon, who had defeated their hosts Mauritania by a solitary goal on Sunday.
