Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda still have it all to do despite a 1-0 lead against South Africa from the first leg of their third round U-20 Women World Cup qualifier at St. Mary\u2019s Stadium, Kitende on December 3.<\/p>\n

Coach Ayub Khalifa and his charges flew out to Johannesburg early this morning fully aware of the job at hand when the sides clash in the second leg at Dobsonville Stadium on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will not be easy but I am happy with the preparations,\u201d Khalifa told Daily Monitor on the back of their December 9 away friendly with Tanzania – in a match held to commemorate the latter\u2019s Independence Day.<\/p>\n

Uganda won 1-0 courtesy of Hadijah Nandago\u2019s 17th minute goal. Her form and quick reactions will come in handy but it was, overall, a good test for Khalifa\u2019s team. In the continued absence of Shamirah Nalugya, makeshift midfield enforcer Aisha Nantongo continued to get minutes in the centre of the park.<\/p>\n

While Juliet Nalukenge was also still on club duty in Cyprus, Zaina Nandede – who is usually an impact substitute – also got more time to get accustomed to her attacking partners.<\/p>\n

Nalukenge had a poor game by her standards against South Africa in Kitende but will be full of confidence after she scored her first hat trick for her Cyprus club AMOK Chrysomolia in a 3-2 win over Pafos Geroskipou on Sunday – hours before she flew to Uganda in time for the national team\u2019s last training yesterday. \u201cFirst of all the game was away. But we all know our rivalry with Tanzania and what they bring to the game in terms of physical tests.<\/p>\n

So for us to go there and win on such an important day for them gives me the confidence that we are indeed back to winning ways,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dobsonville is expected to be another tough venue that will not be helped by the weather conditions in South Africa at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been in touch with (Mamelodi Sundowns and former Uganda Cranes goalkeeper Dennis) Onyango and he told us that it has been raining a lot for five days straight.<\/p>\n

But that is okay. I think we would struggle more in hotter conditions,\u201d Khalifa said.<\/p>\n

The winner of this tie will meet the winner of the tie between Zambia and Ghana, which is still tied at 0-0, in the penultimate qualification round.<\/p>\n
