Uganda failed to book an early African Cup of Nations slot after South Sudan condemned them to a 1-0 loss at Nyayo Stadium on Monday.
The win, courtesy of a goal scored by Gor Mahia’s new star Tito Okello, ensured the Bright Stars picked a maiden group win while Uganda suffered an unlikely first qualifiers loss.
As was the case in the reverse fixture, South Sudan looked comfortable in dealing with Uganda’s attacks that were spearheaded by Allan Okello, Fahad Bayo and Luwagga Kizito in the early moments of the game.
