Over the past year, Uganda has hosted international matches in other countries, using Tanzania, Cameroon, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt on various occasions.
Issa Kaboré, who won the stoppage-time penalty that secured his nation’s victory in their game against Mauritania, was again involved as Burkina Faso were awarded another spot-kick.
This time, Rayan Aït-Nouri’s mistimed attempted clearance caught Kaboré, allowing substitute Bertrand Traoré to bury his second goal of the tournament from 12 yards out.
With the crowd on their side, the West Africans dug deep but Bounedjah was on hand to salvage a point, sending in a bullet header from a corner to go level at the top of the AFCON scoring charts.
