Uganda ended Zambia’s slender hopes in the CAF Under-17 Cup qualifiers whom they dumped out of the competition after a 1-1 draw in Lusaka on Saturday.
There was little to tell between the two teams in terms of talent and the swirling controversy over age cheating that dominated the talk in the run-up to this game.
However, Uganda advanced in this battle of ages from the preliminary round 3-1 on aggregate.
They will face Ghana whom they host in the first leg in Kampala during the weekend of August 27-28.
And in the game played at Nkoloma, Zambia took the lead in the Patrick Sakala in the 33th minute.
Uganda equalized in the 37th minute through striker Michael Mutyaba with a close range shot.
Coach Aggrey Chiyangi blamed Uganda’s older players putting sugar coating on a team built around by players drawn from K-Stars, Zacks United, Damiano Academy and Livingstone Pirates.
Well, I hope it had nothing to do with the Castle bibs…
