Uganda started brightly without hitting the target before their starting goalkeeper, Denis Onyango, made a stunning point-blank save to keep out Onuachu at the other end. Just moments later, the forward broke the deadlock, stretching out to reach Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's low centre on the edge of the six-yard box. Onyango was then forced off at the break due to an injury, and Magoola only lasted 11 minutes after his introduction.
