Two goals in extra time ensured Uganda advanced to the finals of the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup after an entertaining 3 -- 1 victory over hosts Tanzania in the semi-finals. This fine header by Emmanuel Okwi broke the deadlock after 1 all draw in normal time. Isaac Isinde's penalty dashed the host's hopes of defending their title. Uganda who enjoy a commendable record in the regional tournament will now face Rwanda in the finals a repeat of the 2009 final. Rwanda advanced after seeing off a spirited Sudan. This goal by Sudan's Ramadhan Agab drew the two sides level. Unfortunately for the Sudanese Rwanda's captain Olivier Karekezi fired them to the final after 78 minutes.
Thanks for the memories. Congratulations to the whole team. How about Brazil 2014?
With excellent goalies, good defenders, decent MFs, Serumagga, Hamis Kizza and Emmanuel "The Real Deal" Okwi up front, it is possible.
Hopefully, Bobby will get his tactics right and play to the guys' strengths most of the time.
