Denis Onyango 9/10: He is one of those players that had a good game yesterday.  He also made good saves in the first half from A.Ayew and C. Atsu.

 Denis Iguma 6/10: He looked solid in defense as he managed to stop crosses from his wing. However, he failed to help the team in going forward.

Joseph Ochaya 6/10: He had a terrible first half as he let Ghana’s winger C. Atsu to do all his magic. But in the second half he stepped up his game and delivered good crosses that piled pressure on Ghana.

 Hassan Wasswa 7/10: He used his solidarity and physique to stop A. Gyan though he looked very poor in the air.

 Isaac Isinde 4/10: He loosely gave away the penalty that won Ghana the game but he did not loose his confidence as he helped the team defensively.

Geoffrey Kizito 6/10: He too had a good game as he shielded our defensive without committing  risky fouls.



Tonny Mawejje 6/10: He was too wide in the first half and delivered many blind crosses. However, he controlled the game in second half  playing  as central midfielder

Mike Azira 5/10: His debut did not go well as he failed to help the team much, thus coach Micho too made an early halftime substitution.

Farouk Miya 7/10: He almost got us a goal at the end of half time but his shot hit the side net. He covered almost every corner of the pitch looking for spaces where he could sneak and get us a goal.

Luwagga Kizito 5/10: He freely gave away balls to the opponents, lacked confidence and a bit of physique though he helped Iguma to defend the wing.

Geoffrey Massa 6.10: He looked isolated in the first half with the little balls he got. The captain made good runs in the second half and he made a strong shot on goal from a set piece.

 Substitutes;

Moses Oloya 5/10: He came on at half time for Azira, he created panic in Ghana’s left back

Muhammad Shaban 6.5/10: Onduparaka’s young star played beyond expectation as he came on for Luwagga. He brought life and pace in our attack.

Geoffrey Sserunkuma 5/10: The veteran strike played the closing minutes of the game after replacing Isinde but his ball holding abilities and movements made a change in our game.
