00:00Make magic!

00:02We're underway at the Nelson Mandela Stadium

00:05in yellow and black.

00:07The Uganda Cranes in white, all out, looking immaculate.

00:12The Lions of Terenga from Senegal.

00:16Oja Storach, now Regan Pandey here,

00:19who fears that he might have had a knock in the last game,

00:22but just bounced back right in time.

00:26Able to play in the game here as Havata Chai, set to deliver the throw.

00:35Chai, out on the flank,

00:38unable to keep that in his possession,

00:41and that just rolls out here for Thorton.

00:48Constantly deep to create an extra man in the midfield.

00:52And now this is Gae.

00:54Nibase Gae cuts in, takes the shot from distance!

00:59Warning bells already ringing here,

01:01but Joe Motakuwa on the mark to make sure that gets not past him.

01:09Well, well, well, the warnings have already been sounded here.

01:12Nibase drifting in brilliantly, just gliding in.

01:17The Ugandans have the possession once again, and now it's to Regan Pandey.

01:22It's been their outlet so far.

01:24Pandey, trickster, turns inside out, and out the cross is on.

01:29Oh, that's a touch too heavy.

01:31Slightly higher than would have been comfortable for Jude Semogabi.

01:36Onventura sets a long ball, looking for Omar.

01:41Omar Barr.

01:43Brings it under control here, taking on Gavin.

01:45Omar Barr manages to glide past his marker.

01:48It's going to be a good opportunity.

01:51Christian Gomez had a chance.

01:55Adjusted that ball, unable to retain his right footing.

01:58Crane's pick it up.

02:00Abdukarim Watambala, Jude Semogabi, Regan Pandey, the willing recipient.

02:05Looks to fashion out a cross, but that wasn't well worked.

02:08Alan Okelo indicating that the ball should have come to him.

02:11Molibi Akwaso, Regan Pandey.

02:15Once again, a ruthless emphasis of pressing coming in from Watambala,

02:24fashioning out the chance.

02:25The fans thought for a moment, they could have got it themselves.

02:29Now tries to get the cranes on the front foot.

02:32Bouncing ball, and that ball is missed.

02:34Regan Pandey will fashion out a short.

02:37The ball goes out for a corner.

02:41Ooh, this is not the place to make such mistakes.

02:45Very, very fortunate.

02:47Adona Barr is not punished for that incident.

02:50Went for the clearance, cleanly missed that.

02:52They had just enough presence of mind to keep track.

02:58Now the questions here as Pandey seems to signal that there might have been contact with the hand.

03:04I highly doubt that. I highly do.

03:06That was a clean-as-they-come tackle from Bae Asane Sis to put that into the corner.

03:17Fans clamoring for VAR.

03:19Jude Semogaby is now romping for Jude Semogaby.

03:23That touch.

03:25Well, he didn't have quite the verb behind it.

03:29From Enoch Semogala to set Jude Semogaby on the front foot.

03:33Semogaby beats his marker.

03:34There's tagging there.

03:35And the ball, hacked clear.

03:37Well, that looked very promising from the Cranes.

03:40And Jude Semogaby is getting into his groove.

03:44The referee will now keep a very close eye on Joseph Laos.

03:49Tagging in a moment there.

03:50Could have easily been a free kick, but played the advantage.

03:53And rightly so.

03:55As the Cranes were in ascendance.

03:56Gavine.

03:59Back to Gavine Chizito.

04:04Abdu Karim Watambala.

04:06Enoch Semogala.

04:08Alan Okelo drifting out on the flank.

04:11Doesn't have much support, but will he need it?

04:13The little magician plays it back to Abdu Karim Watambala, who lets it fly.

04:19Well, he has a patch-end for those pile drivers.

04:23Can pack a cannon of a shot here.

04:24He had to find the mark in this tournament.

04:31And for the faithfuls that tend to throng the St. Mary's Stadium in.

04:35Across that ball.

04:39Okelo.

04:40Goes for the goalkeeper.

04:42Easy peasy.

04:44Simple save.

04:47Three minutes and 30 seconds of the three that were added in extra time.

04:51And right on cue, the referee brings the first 45 minutes to a close.

05:01As it has been in the rest of the quarterfinals.

05:03Still no goals to write about.

05:06And it will now become a straight showdown in the next 45 minutes.

05:10Little dissatisfaction from Gomez and a couple of teammates with the referee thinking they deserved the penalty in that moment.

05:20Soleimane Diallo has a wry look about him.

05:22But for the moment, they are still pending as it's Uganda nil.

05:29Senegal nil.

05:30Right here at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in the quarterfinals of the African Nations Championship.

05:35As Mokta Koite, Serene is said to be brought in.

05:42Second half gets underway before he gets to lace his boots onto the pitch.

05:48Quick restart here from Senegal.

05:52To the center of the park.

05:53There will be an attempt for a shot from distance.

05:55Well, trying to figure out if the mark of...

06:02Glancing around for Habata Chai.

06:07Dainty little feet forward for Chai.

06:09Gets it on from Pande.

06:10The cross is in!

06:12Well, that could have very easily gone the wrong side of the post.

06:16And the Cranes fans know it.

06:19NDIA coming face to face with every defender's worst nightmare.

06:26A goal is pain.

06:29A goal from your own boot is absolute hell.

06:35Regan Pande athletically stretching out to...

06:40Well, that was a little naive from the AC Villa defender.

06:43Fortunately, no pain to that as Regan Pande.

06:47Another one from Villa.

06:48Sets it up here for Alan Okelo.

06:50Edge of the box area.

06:51Slight ruler pass.

06:53And well intercepted by Joseph Laiose.

06:56They're hammering at the gates.

06:59They're battering at the fences.

07:03The Cranes are baying for that goal.

07:06And Senegal are holding fort.

07:09Good throw.

07:10Mayose trying to get to Koita.

07:12He lose possession.

07:13Ball taken away.

07:14Twisting one way or the other.

07:15And this is Gae.

07:16Fashions out across.

07:17And the ball lands beautifully.

07:18Chance here.

07:19Shot in!

07:20And it's the defending champions that draw fast blood.

07:24Right here at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

07:25Nyo Fa for Senegal.

07:26Against the run of play.

07:27Against the odds for the moment.

07:28They silenced the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

07:29Disbelief from Joe Mutakumwa.

07:30Against the run of play.

07:31Against the odds for the moment.

07:32They silenced the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

07:33Disbelief from Joe Mutakumwa.

07:34Well, there'll be no cheers right here for the Cranes.

07:37And it's a chance to get into the stadium.

07:38Can you resist the Nelson Mandela Stadium?

07:39Operations that draw fast blood.

07:40Right here at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

07:41New far for Senegal.

07:47Against the run of play.

07:51Against the odds for the moment.

07:54They silenced the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

07:57well there'll be no cheers right here for the cranes and it's a chance to get into the dance

08:04for they slip up and a quick acceleration of pace Libase Gaye the orchestrator in chief

08:13and when the ball landed flash no mistake from Omar Ba angles that brilliantly with surgical

08:21precision bottom corner goalkeepers always hate that and that just might be the moment that puts

08:29the Lions of Terenga with one foot towards the semi-finals Uganda nil Senegal one

08:38the cranes retain possession a chai Mpande gets on to the ball cranes need to walk double-timers

08:54him this way cross coming in fooled almost everyone except the goalkeeper just stayed with his wits about

09:03him in a rush to get forward really happy to let the rest of the team slip into their defensive

09:10position and there's a clean chip in looking for Cesar it's just muscled off that ball that was a brilliant

09:23there's a slip up here could be an opportunity for a counter good pick up here from Cesar

09:28tries to drift his way in Serum Joji lost his footing and quite nearly handed the initiative to the Lions

09:35of Terenga and they have 10 minutes to keep themselves alive in the African Nations Championship

09:41short from distance miscued and skewed off target this rolls away humbly here committing bodies forward

09:51only two players on the entire team out of the final third the shot comes in spilled out here

09:57him is the way pop back in and it's over the bar for a goal kick disbelief from Joffrey Massa a man that

10:07well he's the manager now and not gold striker anymore but Ivan Ahimbi Siwe the poacher in chief the

10:14hunter was on the mark just failing to get a proper touch to that when it landed to Arnold Odong well used

10:25his knee rather than any other part of his shoe and that is a nothing more than a wasted opportunity

10:32and this could be the opening Yunus Sentamo tries to get that ball slipped in tidy tidy defending from

10:41Baye Asane Sis not many times does Yunus Sentamo get such opportunities and fluff them

10:51leaves his marker trailing Kakande now picks his pass tries to get a ball to Ivan Ahimbi Siwe

10:57has two markers bearing down on him how about Achai Kakande Kakande to Achai Achai the cross is in

11:06and unable to make the mark oh way too close and Chris Pascosima knows that might have been

11:14the get out of jail card they are still shackled and for the moment the crane had quite nearly swiped

11:24at the lions here how about Achai brilliant delivery Kevin Chisito and Osama Arafat trying to raise

11:32themselves to the trajectory of the ball it just wasn't to be

11:39only a castle as always appreciative of it's going to take another miracle to stay in this game
