Nigeria Super Eagles 0-0 Uganda Cranes
Uganda Cranes and the Nigeria Super Eagles played to a non scoring draw during a highly explosive international friendly match played at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, Delta State.
The well attended clash was a perfectly contested physical duel that witnessed either sides create goal scoring opportunities with tight defence lines.
Uganda Cranes were denied a first half penalty when Jamilu Collins brought down Allan Kyambadde.
Derrick Nsibambi volleyed wide an over head kick inside the goal area in what seemed a great opportunity for Uganda Cranes.
Captain Emmanuel Arnold Okwi and Moses Waiswa also attempted at the Nigerian goal in vain.
Nigeria’s Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi and towering John Ogu were kept under check by the Ugandan defence of Nico Wakiro Wadada, Godfrey Walusimbi, Timothy Denis Awany, Denis Iguma and goalkeeper Salim Jamal.
Later in the second stanza of the game, the technical team introduced Ibrahim Sadam Juma, Patrick Henry Kaddu, Allan Kateregga and Milton Karisa for Tadeo Lwanga, Derrick Nsibambi, Allan Kyambadde and Moses Waiswa respectively
