The first half ended in a stalemate, with both sides struggling to break through defensively. Uganda midfielder Taddeo Lwanga was booked in the 42nd minute, but neither team could capitalize on their limited chances before halftime.

South Africa’s second-half substitutions proved decisive. Thapelo Morena, introduced at the break, opened the scoring in the 49th minute with a precise strike.

Uganda responded with a flurry of substitutions in the 56th minute, introducing Steven Mukwala and Bobosi Byaruhanga to reinvigorate their attack, but their efforts were in vain.

As the match drew to a close, South Africa’s Pule Maswanganyi added a second goal in the 89th minute, assisted by Iqraam Rayners, sealing the victory.

Both Uganda and South Africa have already qualified for the 2025 AFCON finals, but the race for group supremacy remains alive. South Africa sits atop the table with an unbeaten record and will aim to finish strongly against South Sudan.
