AFCON 2021 Qualifiers (Group B):
- Burkina Faso 0-0 Uganda Cranes
- Malawi 1-0 South Sudan
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: Uganda Cranes put a spirited fight away from home soil to snatch a point in Burkina Faso in a match played on Wednesday night.
They, however, have a daunting task ahead of the Sunday match against Malawi, that garnered three points after beating South Sudan 1-0 in Maputo. Malawi tops Group B with three points.
The Uganda Cranes start at the opening of the AFCON 2021 group B qualifier at the Stade Du 4 Aout in Ouagadougou leaves much to be desired.
There was disciplined defending and collective teamwork from the players throughout the entire duration of the game played under floodlights.
Left-back Johnson Benson Ochaya cleared off the line with skipper Denis Onyango already beaten in one of the early scares from the hosts.
Onyango was alert to command the backline at all times as he made several saves.
Abdul Lumala’s pace on the right-wing, Farouk Miya and Emmanuel Arnold Okwi’s direct approach bothered the opposition.
Whereas striker Patrick Henry Kaddu was kept isolated, his runs troubled the defenders.
Uganda Cranes had a glorious opportunity to take the lead but Okwi headed onto the crossbar a curling corner kick by Miya in the second half.
Nico Wakiro Wadada was the first substitute to be introduced when he took over Bevis Mugabi’s slot at right back.
Uganda will be delighted to smile home with a point that leaves them in a joint second position like Burkina Faso.
Malawi leads the group B standings with three points following their 1-0 victory earlier over South Sudan.
Relatedly, Burkina Faso travels to Khartoum to face South Sudan on a neutral venue.
