AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE national Under-20 (Ngorongoro Heroes) head coach, Jamhuri Kihwelo has hailed his boys for taming out South Sudan in the Cecafa Under-20 Championship and hence qualifying for the AFCON Under-20 finals to be held next year in Mauritania.<\/p>\n

Kihwelo, alias Julio has also promised to win the title on December 2 when they face Uganda in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes me happy is our qualification in the first ever introduced Under-20 Afcon finals next year,\u201d said overjoyed Julio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first place of this Under-20 Cecafa Championship, our intention was to secure a ticket to the Afcon Under-20 finals and thanks God we made it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Under-20 Cecafa Championship guarantees top placed teams to the 2021 Under-20 Afcon finals.<\/p>\n

This means that Tanzania and Uganda have made it after winning their Monday\u2019s semifinal matches. Any result when the two teams face off in the December 2\u2019s final will not change their qualifications.<\/p>\n

Kassim Haruna scored a brace in the 58th minute off a rebounded ball with a shot after Kelvin John\u2019s diving header missed the target.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur opponents came in with intent to play a \u2018rough game\u2019, but I always insisted on my players to relax because we wanted good results,\u201d said Kihwelo.<\/p>\n

Kihwelo had however predicted that the match was tough, but they played better tactically and thank God they made it. He has also promised for a brave show against Uganda when they face off on December 2 at Arusha Rhinos\u2019 ground in Karatu, Arusha.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Uganda also beat Kenya by 3-1 in the first semifinal match.<\/p>\n

Uganda were leading 2-0 at the breather, thanks to Kenneth Semakula and Avian Bogere, scored in the 23rd and 26th minutes, respectively.<\/p>\n

Bogere was in the mark again in the 64th minute to score his second goal of the day before Enock Wanyama scoring Kenya\u2019s consolation goal nine minutes to time.<\/p>\n

South Sudan will therefore play Kenya in the third place play off before hosts, Tanzania playing Uganda in the finals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
