Uganda Cranes registered a 3-2 victory  in the practice match played at the Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium in Wakiso district on Saturday.

Cranes drew the first blood through a Rogers Mato header past Derrick Emukule thanks to a Herbert Achai’s assist.

Wakiso Giants then levelled the matters in the 16th minute after Ibrahim Kasule scored from a bouncing header off a Joshua Lubwama header.

Farouk Miya then restored Cranes’ lead when he dispatched a penalty in the 26th minute after Martin Kizza was fouled in the area by Joshua Lubwama.

Kasule then bagged his brace with few minutes to half time when he scored in an empty net after rounding off custodian Charles Lukwago.

With a quarter an hour to full time, FUFA Big League leading scorer Ezra Kaye won it for the Cranes brushing in a James Begisa well calculated cross.

Uganda Cranes will be in action again on Sunday 20th March 2022 in a Regional tour game against Buganda Region select in Mityana.
