AFCON 2019: Uganda beat DR Congo to top group A

Uganda secured an important 2-0 win against DR Congo in their first game of the competition thanks to goals from Patrick Kaddu and Emmanuel Okwi.




Patrick Kaddu scored the opening goal in the 14th minute after connecting with Miya’s corner kick to put his team in front.

DR Congo barely tested the Ugandan goalie in the first half as they were busy trying to contain the Ugandan attack.

Cedric Bakambu had a good opportunity to restore parity but Ugandan goalie Denis Onyango was equal to the task and contained the effort.



Uganda scored their second goal of the game through Emmanuel Okwi who converted Farouk Miya’s freekick.

The win puts Uganda top of Group A, having three points each with Egypt, Zimbabwe and Congo DR are on third and fourth position respectively.
