Bright Anukani, Mustafa Kizza and Joel Madondo scored a goal each for the Cranes against Eriteria to deliver 15th CECAFA title for Uganda.

The title marks Jonathan McKinstry’s first as Uganda’s national team head coach since taking over in October.

Anukani opened the scoring with a tap in off an Allan Okello assist after 32 minutes of play.

Madondo came on for Fahad Bayo on 83 minutes and scored the third one four minutes later.
