Uganda score again after half-time to put DR Congo in further trouble

The nightmare continued for DR Congo at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium as Uganda doubled their lead shortly after the restart in their friendly.

The Leopards had hoped to respond following a difficult first half, but their situation worsened at the beginning of the second period, with Uganda moving 2-0 ahead.

The Cranes capitalised in the 49th minute after a lack of defensive alignment left the Congolese backline exposed. Uganda took full advantage of the opening, finishing clinically to extend their advantage and establish a two-goal cushion.

DR Congo now face a difficult task at 0-2 down, with the coaching staff needing to make swift adjustments if their side are to recover and reduce the deficit during the time remaining.
