In a dramatic turn of events, Uganda has secured a spot in the CHAN 2024 quarter-finals after a thrilling 3-3 draw against South Africa.
The Cranes, playing in front of a home crowd, took the lead in the first half but found themselves trailing 3-1 after a second-half resurgence from South Africa. However, with just minutes left on the clock, Uganda was awarded two penalties, both of which were converted to level the score and send the crowd into a frenzy.
The result means Uganda tops Group C with seven points, while Algeria finishes second with six points after their goalless draw with Niger. South Africa, also on six points, was eliminated on goal difference. This is the first time in seven attempts that Uganda has advanced to the knockout stage of the tournament.
