However, it was Tanzania who opened the scoring as Simchimba headed past Jack Komakech in the Hippos goal.

Morley Byekwaso’s side search for a response before halftime but it would not come as Tanzania went into the break leading 1-0.

Kayondo eventually levelled matter two minutes after the restart with a wonderful strike from distance.
