The Hippos were the better side for 90 minutes and deservedly got the better of their East African neighbours.

Jackson Mayanja’s side had half-chances to take the lead but Isma Mugulusi could not evade the Tanzania defence with his goal-bound shot which was charged down after Abasi Kyeyune had failed to sort his feet while through on goal.

The pressure finally paid off just after the half-hour mark when Titus Ssematimba calmly slotted into the back of the net to hand Uganda a deserved lead.

Moments later, Rogers Mugisha doubled the Hippos lead who took a comfortable 2-0 lead into the break.

Tanzania’s best chance to get back into the game came on the hour mark but Samson Kasozi produced a stunning goal-line clearance to preserve the Hippos two-goal caution.

In the end, the Hippos saw out the victory and clean-sheet which will boost their confidence going into the second game against Ethiopia on Saturday, November 05.

Uganda is the defending champion of the CECAFA U20 Championship.
