Travis Mutyaba scored a brace against Tanzania to earn Uganda a second win in the Cecafa U15 tourney in Asmara, Eritrea.
Uganda had won the first game 3-0 against Ethiopia on Saturday.
Mutyaba’s first goal came after only 27 minutes, a long range before completing his double within the additional minutes after the mandatory 90 minutes of play.

Despite the Tanzanians putting up resistance, they could hardly find a breakthrough as Uganda’s goalkeeper Peter Gubya stood high to be counted with a number of saves.
Uganda has so far garnered six points and tops the Group B table with a high chance of proceeding to the semi finals.
The Jackson Magera coached lads have already scored five goals and conceded none from the two games.
“My players played according to instructions and the result is encouraging” said Uganda’s head coach Jackson Magera via FUFA’s official website.
Uganda who lead Group B with six points will play against South Sudan on Friday, 21st August 2019 in their next game.
