Africa-Press – Tanzania. AFCON 2025 continues to deliver drama in Group C as Uganda and Tanzania battled in a tense and lively encounter. After Tanzania took the lead in the 59th minute through S. Msuva, the Cranes refused to back down and pushed forward with intensity and control.
Uganda found its reward just 21 minutes later. Following a perfectly measured pass from D. Omedi, U. Ikpeazu finished with confidence to level the score, a beautiful goal that reflected Uganda’s dominance and revived hopes of a comeback victory.
Late drama followed in stoppage time. H. Mnoga conceded a foul in the box, giving Uganda a golden chance to snatch all three points. However, A. Okello failed to convert the penalty, crushing Ugandan hopes and leaving both teams to settle for frustration instead of triumph.
The missed penalty
At the end of this match, the two East African nations finish with 1 point each and will have to wait for the end of the Nigeria-Tunisia match to see if they have a chance to qualify for the next level.
