Tanzania, Uganda & Eritrea storm semis
Cecafa U-17 Cup
Quarterfinal
Wednesday
Tanzania 1-0 Ethiopia
Uganda 2-0 Malawi
Thursday
Zanzibar 1-2 Eritrea
Tanzania and Uganda clash in today's first semifinal match of the Cecafa
Under-17 tournament following their victories in Thursday's
quarterfinals.
Tanzania confirmed their place after a hard fought 1-0 victory over
Ethiopia while Uganda ran down Malawi 2-0.
Tanzania started their match strongly making a series of attacks in the
Ethiopian goalmouth.
Their efforts were rewarded in the 35th minute when Hamisi Thabit headed
past towering Ethiopian goalkeeper Zerihun Tadele.
Uganda scored in the 30th minute through Julius Kigori who slotted home
a penalty and Danniel Sserumkuma in the 58th minute capitalizing on a
defensive blunder that left hard working goalkeeper and captain Victor
Nangwale exposed.
Uganda would have run off with a bigger score line but the Malawi goalie
was always at his best pulling off a series of saves. In the other
quarterfinal played last evening in Wad Medani Eritrea beat Zanzibar
2-1.
The last quarterfinal between defending champions Burundi and Sudan had
not yet been played by press time.
Eritrea scored their goals through Osman Mohamed (11) and Kulu Berhane
(55). Yohanes Tilahune got Zanzibar's consolation in the 42 minute.
