They have won all their past three games in the round-robin competition without conceding a goal.<\/p>\n<p>However, coach Ayub Khalifa\u2019s Uganda have grown from strength to strength in front of goal \u2013 going from scoring just once against Ethiopia to putting seven past Burundi on Tuesday this week. That puts them at a slight advantage where a draw will be enough for them to win the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe girls executed all instructions well and I hope we can do the same in the defining game against Tanzania,\u201d Khalifa said.<\/p>\n<p>Bakari Shime\u2019s Tanzania, on the other hand, have their work cut out. Only a win can do. Their coach also believes that it can only be possible if they win the midfield battle against Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have worked on the midfield to be vibrant enough because we do not just need to score goals but enough goals to win the game.<\/p>\n<p>Our opponents have a good team. If you look at all their matches they have had a strategy that has worked and got them the results,\u201d Shime told the Tanzania Football Federation social media channels ahead of today\u2019s clash.<\/p>\n<p>Uganda\u2019s midfield comprises Krusum Namutebi, Agnes Nabukenya and captain Phionah Nabulime \u2013 who know a lot about each other after nearly two years of playing with each other at Kawempe Muslim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I have realized is that every game requires us to play with zeal and to think hard,\u201d Nabulime said after their 7-0 win over Burundi. She will be required to outthink a feisty Tanzania side that will also be rallied by a partisan crowd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
