How Uganda qualified for Chan 2024 quarterfinals
At one point, it seemed as though they were coming out after South Africa led 3-1.
Jude Ssemugabi had given Uganda the lead after 31 minutes to finish Patrick Kakande’s cross.
After the break, Bafana Bafana scored two goals within six minutes through Ramahlwe Mphhahlele and Thabiso to us and score a goal.
The result was disastrous for Uganda with Algeria giving up a draw against Niger in another group match at Nyayo Stadium in Niger.
The situation worsened for Cranes after Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo made good use of Ugandan goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa and gave South Africa a two -goal goal with seven minutes left on the ball.
Varies South Africa
Ugandan fans on the pitch started to leave, but the game had two penalty decisions.
Allan Okello sent the first penalty in the 88th minute before Rogers Torach scored the second penalty in the safe minutes to balance things.
The result, along with Niger to discourage Algeria in Nairobi, assured Uganda to finish the top of Group C with seven points.
“I remember at the beginning of the tournament, we lost our first game. It was a time of sadness, but we continued to believe. Today we came to the next step,” Said Uganda’s head coach through the CAF website.
Algeria also qualified as the second winners with six points equal to South Africa, but they had a good goal difference.
“Our group was tough, and you see the qualifying came in the previous game. It shows the level has been high in the CHAN. Now we have three finals to come, and we have to win one game at the same time. Surely the quarterfinals will be more difficult, but we must maintain our focus,” Said Algeria coach Madjid Bougherra.
