The Uganda Hippos have qualified to the second and final stage of the CAF U-20 qualifiers following a hard fought 2-1 result on the day against Rwanda Junior Wasps at Nelson Mandela National Stadium, Namboole on Saturday.
Rwanda took the lead in the 17th minute after striker Abeddy Biramahire had headed home a cross from the right wing coming off Ange Mutsinzi.
Zake Luboyera then equalized three minutes later before slotting home a penalty in the 47th minute.
Uganda’s Umar Mukobe was booked in the added minutes of the game for suspect time wasting.
