• Uganda 3-0 Zanzibar

Uganda registered a 3-0 victory against Zanzibar at Azam Complex in the 2023 CECAFA U18 Women’s Championship on Thursday evening.

After a 1-0 victory against Ethiopia, it was the second successive victory for Ayub Khalifa’s troops.

Brenda Munyana, Agnes Nabukenya and Captain Phiona Nabulime were on the scoresheet to give Uganda a well deserved victory.

In the first half, Uganda was limited to get sight of goal which greatly turned around in the second stanza.

Three minutes after the hour mark, Munyana finally broke the deadlock with a thrilling finish from close range.

Two minutes later, Nabukenya doubled the lead to cement Uganda’s place in the driving seat.

The team skipper Nabulime put icing on the cake as she scored the third from the spot to give Uganda the bragging rights.

The championship has five nations playing in a round robin format and the team that collects most points will walk away with the trophy.

How Uganda lined up

Sharon Kaidu (GK), Sharifa Nakimera, Patricia Nanyanzi, Patience Nabuloobi, Desire Kaitisi Natooro, Kulusum Namutebi, Phiona Nabulime (C), Agnes Nabukenya, Kamiyat Naigaga, Brenda Munyana, Shamsa Najjuma.
