Group E:
Ghana 1 – 1 Uganda
Uganda Cranes has held Ghana to a one all draw at the Baba Yara Stadium during the group E AFCON nations cup qualifier played on Saturday.

Uganda plays Guinea on Wednesday 10th September, 2014 at Namboole Stadium in the second game of the group. The Cranes will arrive tonight (early hours of Monday morning at 1 am) while Guinea jet in at 10.25 pm today.
