Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Paul Put is a relieved man after Uganda Cranes redeemed themselves to wrap their international break assignments on Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Belgian’s side were at the receiving end of a 4-0 thumping by Comoros on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But the Cranes restored their sense of worth three days later when they twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with 10-man Ghana in Marrakech, Morocco, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ugandan striker Muhammad Shaban scored a late equaliser to cancel our Jordan Ayew’s first half penalty.<\/p>\n

World Cup duty<\/b><\/p>\n

Ghana-based forward Steven Mukwala had earlier cancelled out Jerome Opoku’ 22nd minute opener when he struck home a penalty after Rogers Mato was fouled.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Black Stars also ended the game with 10 men after Mohammed Salisu received a second booking in the dying minutes of the game.<\/p>\n

The Cranes can now have their heads up as they look forward to the resumption of the Fifa 2026 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy with the result because we played one of the strongest teams of Africa,” Put told the press in Morocco.<\/p>\n

“So, I think the players made a good performance.”<\/p>\n

Need for improvement <\/b><\/p>\n

Put is, however, not lost on areas of improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may not be blind,” he acknowledged, “for a tournament like World Cup qualifiers, we conceded two goals again today.<\/p>\n

“So we have to learn so that it doesn\u2019t happen in June because if you concede goals, its very difficult to come back.”<\/p>\n

Put, who was taking charge of his fourth game – winning one, losing two and drawing the other – added: \u201cI think there is progress, but also still a lot of work to do.<\/p>\n

“I hope to recover injured players for the game in June because we had to change a lot so it\u2019s not that easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Put made four changes from the team that started against Comoros.<\/p>\n

Mukwala, debutant Toby Sibbick, Fahad Bayo and Ronald Ssekiganda got starting nods ahead of Shaban, Halid Lwaliwa, Denis Omedi and Moses Opondo.<\/p>\n

Uganda will host Botswana and Algeria in June in the World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

The Cranes lost their first qualifying game to Guinea and beat Somalia in the last. Mozambique complete Uganda’s group.<\/p>\n

How the Cranes lined up<\/b><\/p>\n

Ikara (GK), Bwomono, Sibbick, Mugabi \u00a9, Kaka, Ssemakula, Ssekiganda, Mutyaba, Bayo, Mukwala, Mato<\/p>\n
