Chan 2020 Qualifiers: Burundi 0-3 Uganda - Cranes thump Swallows

Uganda have registered a healthy 3-0 victory over Burundi in the African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier at Intwari Stadium on Saturday.

Vianney Ssekajjugo, Mike Mutyaba and Mustafa Kizza are the players who handed The Cranes the vital away goals which would probably lessen their work during the return match.

Uganda were the first team to get an open chance in the fifth minute when Mike Mutyaba's free-kick went inches wide as the visitors started on an attacking note.

Fahad Bayo was denied by goalkeeper Blanchard Ngasonziza in the 11th minute as the Ugandan forward was put through on goal by Allan Okello but the keeper did well to read and block the striker before he pulled the trigger.
