Cranes in slim loss against Zambia in Ndora

FUFA President Lawrence Mulindwa watched the game as Coach Bobby Williamson took charge of the technical bench. The team will embark on early preparations ahead of the return leg on October 13.

The Uganda Cranes registered an averagely good performance against Zambia, the continental champions when they lost 1-0 away in Ndora, Saturday evening.

The result did not however excite the hosts as both officials and players looked visibly disappointed after the last whistle over this an unexpected slim victory and there was almost no celebrations on the pitch.  The fans too, looked miserable from the terraces as they descended from the 45.000 seat stadium. The hosts had perhaps expected a bigger score than what they walked back with.

The game was watched by the FUFA president Lawrence Mulindwa and the sports Minister Charles Bakabulindi among others. The team heads to the airport this evening and they are expected in Entebbe around 10:30pm aboard their chartered flight.  The result is however still a big challenge and timely preparations will be required in order to achieve our targeted goal here in Kampala on October 13.

FUFA however wishes to congratulate the players and our technical bench upon the spirited fight put up in Zambia. We shall ensure that the team goes into preparation on time and avail the necessary requirements to facilitate the process.

We also wish to thank the government for the financial support extended to our players through Hon Charles Bakabulindi days before we flew out.

But for us to achieve the target, the government should consider making more allocations towards the return leg.
