• HT: Burundi 0-1 Uganda

Isaac Ogwang's clinical finish in the 35th minute has given Uganda a slender 1-0 lead against Burundi in the CHAN Qualifiers at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo, on Thursday.

The game started with Uganda showing intent. In the ninth minute, Allan Okello tried a long-range effort, but his shot flew over the bar.

Two minutes later, Uganda came close to opening the scoring but failed to make a decisive touch before Burundi's goalkeeper intervened.

Burundi had a chance to capitalize on a foul by Patrick Mbowa near the edge of the box. However, Keita Bakuru's free-kick went wide, leaving the visitors unscathed.

Uganda finally broke the deadlock in the 35th minute when Ogwang outmanoeuvred his marker and slotted home with a composed finish.

Despite Burundi's attempts to pressure Uganda's defence, they were unable to find an equalizer before the halftime whistle.

Uganda Cranes Starting XI:
Joel Mutakubwa (GK), Gavin Kizito, Derrick Ndahiro, Rogers Torach, Hillary Mukundane, Paul Mbowa, Saidi Mayanja, Allan Okello, Isaac Ogwang, Shafik Kwikiriza, Jude Ssemugabi.
