This sets Bobby Williamson&#8217;s side against Group A&#8217;s second placed team as Burundi face Group C toppers.<\/p>\n<p>The first day quarterfinal on Monday sees Burundi facing the second-placed team in Group C that includes Kenya, Malawi, Ethiopia and Sudan. Malawi top with four points, Kenya follow on three, Sudan on two and Ethiopia on one.<\/p>\n<p>The other quarterfinal will involve Group A winners vs Best loser 1. Zanzibar top best losers table with four points. The third quarterfinal will have Group C winners against the Best loser 2.<\/p>\n<p>Uganda will take on the second-placed team in Group A in the last quarter final.

The Cranes put up one of the most disjointed displays in recent memory and they were duly punished.<\/p>\n<p>Amissi received the ball from a short corner, curled it in off the underside to Robert Odongkara&#8217;s back and into the net for a 1-0 lead five minutes from half time.<\/p>\n<p>It never changed as striker Emma Okwi squandered two decent scoring chances that could have swung the game in Cranes&#8217; favour.
