To reach the semi-final Uganda Hippos started their campaign with a goalless draw against South Sudan on Monday before humbling Burundi 6-1 in their second Group B match played on Wednesday.
Uganda Cranes needed a win to qualify directly for Africa’s biggest tournament, but a 37th minute penalty converted by Tito Okello was enough to see South Sudan get their first win in the qualifiers.
The supporters chanting and dancing have blocked and access roads to the Stadium have also be blocked by Police. NUP supporters who tried to access the venue as early as 9:00 am were taken by surprise to find mounted road blocks from both sides of the road.
