\"Tanzania Uganda played Tanzania in a tough match at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam<\/span> <\/p>\n

Uganda and Rwanda clinched their places in the final of the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup thanks to their semi-final victories on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Rwanda survived a scare to beat Sudan 2-1 in the game in Dar-es-Salam.<\/p>\n

Uganda shattered Tanzania hopes of celebrating their 50th anniversary on Friday in style as the Cranes defeated the hosts 3-1 after extra-time.<\/p>\n

They will play Rwanda in Saturday’s final of East and Central Africa’s regional tournament.<\/p>\n

But it was Tanzania who dominated their game against Uganda and took the lead in the 17th minute when Mrisho Ngassa was put through by Mwinyi Kazimoto.<\/p>\n

Ngassa raced through the Ugandan defence before beating goalkeeper Abby Dhaira for the opener.<\/p>\n

Five minutes later Tanzanian goalkeeper Juma Kaseja produced as fantastic save after Godfrey Walusimbi fired from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

The Cranes drew level after the break when Walusimbi’s corner kick was headed in by captain Andy Mwesigwa.<\/p>\n

Both sides failed to score pushing the game into extra-time before Emmanuel Okwi and Isack Sinde sealed the victory.<\/p>\n

Uganda coach Bobby Williamson was delighted with the victory insisting they switched their style of play to secure the victory.<\/p>\n

“We changed the system and we played long balls. That’s how we managed to win. Rwanda is an important game and we will prepare for it,” Williamson said.<\/p>\n

Rwanda shocked Sudan – the only side in the competition to play in next year’s Africa Cup of Nations – with goals from Jean Claude Iranzi and Olivier Karekezi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
