VISION SPORT NEW VISION, Monday, September 5, 2016 65 UGANDA QUALIFIES FOR NATIONS CUP Uganda Cranes ratings Denis Onyango 8 He was steady. On three occasions the visitors came close but the Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper was alert. Nicholas Wadada 8 He was solid at the back. His signature overlaps were also in play. He could have done even much better with good crosses. Joseph Ochaya 8 He had a great day. He was not only assertive but also very cre- ative in initiating attacks. His defensive play was also well above average. His only weak point came in crosses and free kicks. Murushid Juuko 6 He did what was expected of him keeping the opponents at bay. He was however at times unnecessarily rough, a trend that got him a yellow card. Isaac Isinde 8 As always, he was one of the pillars that held Uganda’s defence together. He also covered up well for his overlapping fullbacks. Khalid Aucho 8 He perfectly executed his role of shielding the defence. He not only blocked passes but was also unbeatable when it came to marking. Moses Oloya 7 His dribbles had the visitors on the back pedal on several oc- casions. He later seemed to lose steam and was substituted by Godfrey Walusimbi. Kizito Luwaga 7 OUR ANTHEM WILL PLAY AT AFCON 2017 He had some dazzling runs. But his fi nal touch was always lack- ing. He was later replaced by Emma Okwi. CONGRATULATIONS UGANDA Tonny Mawejje 6 He failed to rise up to the form that has throughout the quali- fi ers had him as Uganda’s lead linkman. He lost balls just like he made blind passes in attack. Farouk Miya 9 He was the star of the day. He not only struck the winner that took Uganda back to Africa Cup of Nations, but he also effec- tively played the role of an attacking midfi elder. Geoffrey Massa 6 At fi rst he looked like the lone striker who was not being fed. But he eventually got the balls but was off target even where GREAT REWARDING TASTE scoring looked easy. Hassan Wasswa later came in for him. FROM THE SOURCE Micho Sredojevic (coach) 8 He scored highly for having the right defence in place. He could have even done better by replacing Massa with either Geoffrey Serunkuma or Yunus Sentamu. Compiled by James Bakama.
