Senegal 1 - Uganda 1

Uganda, after a strong road draw against Angola, came home to face group favorites Senegal in rainy Kampala.  The host Cranes started well early, but Senegal eventually came to dominate the match.  Dame Ndoye burst up the left side of the pitch and laid a ball off to the six-yard line from where a sliding Papiss Cisse scored the opener.  Senegal led 1-0 at the break.

Senegal failed to push the lead, and it would be a late penalty kick that would give Uganda the chance at equalizing.  Godfrey Walusimbi stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to earn his side a 1-1 tie at home to the Group J favorites.
