FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifiers (Group E):

Full Time: Uganda Cranes 1-0 Rwanda Amavubi Stars

Fahad Bayo's solo was the difference again as Uganda Cranes defeated Rwanda for their 2nd win in a space of three days of FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers on Sunday.

The forward's prowess in front of goal was expressed when he headed home from a poor clearance in the 21st minute.

It was his second goal in 3 days after scoring against the same side in Nyamirambo, a game Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic's outfit also won 1-0.

This was the country's first home win in a competitive match since beating South Sudan on November 12, 2020.
