The Uganda U20 Women’s national team defeated Eritrea 2-0 in their third match at the 2021 CECAFA U20 Women’s Championship in Njeru.
A goals each from Hadija Nandago and captain Fauzia Najjemba did the trick for Ayub Khalifan’s side on the day.

Najjemba added the second, her ninth of the competition, on 49 minutes.
