Tanzania and South Sudan have booked slots in the semi-final stage at the on-going TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) – CECAFA qualifiers in Kampala, Uganda.
The Tanzania team defeated Kenya 1-0 in the first Group A match, while South Sudan saw off Sudan 1-0 in a Group B tie all played at the Nakivubo Hamz Stadium on Wednesday.
In the first match Juma Sagwe netted the lone goal for Tanzania after 19 minutes. He capitalized on a well taken Juma Abushiri pass to slot the ball past Kenya’s goalkeeper Golan Odiwuor.
The two sides continued to create several scoring opportunities, but failed to convert. After recess Kenya intensified their search for goals, but failed to break the Tanzanian defending line.
After 80 minutes Kenya’s Lukonde Mwale came close to leveling matters, but the Tanzanian goalkeeper Abrahman Nassoro parried the ball out of danger.
