Uganda’s youngsters have defeated Rwanda 3-0 to finish top of Group B in the on-going Cecafa U-15 Challenge Cup in Asmara, Eritrea.

The win on Sunday takes Uganda to 12 points, 13 goals scored and none conceded.

Abasi Kyeyune netted a brace, while Patrick Ouke scored the other. Rwanda’s Veryzion Ishimwe had a chance to pull one back but shot out. The Rwanda team continued to play a very defensive game with Uganda pressing them for most of the match.

Rwanda’s coach Yves Rwasamanzi said that he rested some of the players because they had already qualified for the semi final. “Uganda is a very strong side because they dominated most of the game. We are planning for the semi final first then see what happens next,” added the coach

The Uganda coach Jackson Magera said he is proud of his team that has scored 13 goals and conceded none. “The boys have been very disciplined, but we head to the knock out stage now which is very different,” he added.

The earlier game saw Tanzania beat Ethiopia 3-1. Saidy Daudy Athuman netted a brace for Tanzania, while Juma Ladaki Chasambi the other. Fasil Eyueal Tsegaye scored for Ethiopia.

The regional tournament supported by FIFA will climax on August 30th with the finals. CAF President Ahmad Ahmad has confirmed he will grace the finals.
