Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT & FUFA MEDIA | The Uganda Cranes have been held to a goalless draw by AFCON 2021 qualifying Group table leaders Burkina Faso.
Stand-in coach Abdallah Mubiru led an experienced Uganda Cranes team that hit the cross bar, but failed to secure a much needed win at St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
Mubiru was taking charge after FUFA handed coach Johnathan McKinstry a one-month forced leave March 2nd- 31st March 2021.
Uganda are still aiming to go to a third straight Nations Cup finals and currently are placed second, with 8 points, one behind Burkina Faso who are at 9 points.
