Ball possession:

The contest was tight, tactical and fiercely contested, with Cameroon’s greater cutting edge in key moments ultimately proving the difference in a match where defences were largely on top. The young Indomitable Lions showed greater composure in both penalty areas, taking their decisive chance and then managing the game intelligently in the closing stages.

Passes:

Despite the winning margin being only a single goal, the clash between Cameroon U17 and Uganda U17 was a physically intense group-stage encounter, defined more by defensive discipline, duels and interceptions than by attacking fluency or sustained pressure.
