ABBEY Dhaira saved three penalties as Uganda won their 12th CECAFA title with a 3-2 victory over Rwanda at Dar es Salam in Tanzania on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Regulation time ended 2-2 and Dhaira was an instant hero when he saved penalties taken by Eric Gasana and Frederic Ndaka while Baisenge hit the pole.<\/p>\n
At high tempo mandatory time, two second half goals for each of the sides forced an extra time.<\/p>\n
Medi Kagere (50, 79) scored a brace for Rwanda while Isaac Isinde volleyed-in at close range in the 77th minute before Rwandan captain Olivier Karekezi was forced to head in an own goal off Emma Okwi corner kick in the 80th minute.<\/p>\n
Williamson’s tactical withdrawal of Mike Serumaga, who played behind lead striker Emma Okwi for Hamis Kiiza to play at the same line; and Moses Oloya (Dan Wagaluka) in the right flank and Patrick Ochan (Musa Mudde) in the midfield was the trick.<\/p>\n
In the first half Uganda had five shots two by Mawejje, two by Okwi and Serumagga was clear chance this was just a matter of time for the Cranes to take the day.<\/p>\n
On top of the trophy, Uganda took $30,000 (sh74m) while Rwanda settled for a consolation $20,000 (49m). Sudan pocketed $10,000 (25m).<\/p>\n
Zanzibari President Dr. Ali Mohamed Shein handed the trophy to Cranes captain Andy Mwesigwa.<\/p>\n
