The Queens Cranes carried the huge advantage from Maputo on Saturday last week before the return leg scheduled for Friday 13th, at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.

Uganda Queen Cranes assistant captain Phiona Nabulime has fired her team to complete the job against Mozambique in style despite carrying a 6-0 advantage from the first leg of the Under-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Queens Cranes carried the huge advantage from Maputo on Saturday last week before the return leg scheduled for Friday 13th, at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.

Agnes Nabukenya and Hadijah Nandago both grabbed a brace as Margaret Kunihira and Eva Naggayi put the context to bed.

“We arrived safely from Mozambique and had a light session to remove the fatigue and jet lag, but we expect victory at home as well so that we can wrap it up,” Nabulime said ahead of the preparations for the second leg.

The winner of this tie will face the winner in the pairing between Senegal and Benin in the third round.

Only two teams from the continent will represent Uganda at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup to be held in Colombia next year.
