In a display of determined efforts from both sides, Zimbabwe and Uganda played to a goalless draw (0-0) on Thursday, marking the opening match of the second day in Group B of the African Nations Championship. The narrative of the game centered around the goalkeepers.
Ochan of Uganda and Chigova of the Warriors took turns thwarting numerous attempts from the attackers. Despite a less dominating performance compared to their dynamic first match against Burkina Faso, Uganda didn’t really control the game this time. Zimbabwe, led by their dynamic left-winger Kuda Mahachi, elected “Man of the Match,” took the initiative, creating numerous opportunities. However, the attackers couldn’t convert them into goals.
The spotlight now shifts to the highly anticipated match in this group between Burkina Faso and Morocco.
Uganda Lineup: Ochan; Ntambi, Kabugo, Kassaga, Muleme; Wasswa, Ntege; Olaki, Iguma, Majwega; Sentamu
