00:00I think it's also good that, you know, the changes are being made.

00:04Uzo Ho is coming now to play, and that should make some advantages for Nigeria also.

00:11Kayondo down the left, there will be one to watch, but Ikbe Azu with some Nigerian heritage

00:17does get an opportunity for Uganda.

00:18Unyedeka get to start in a midfield role, while Simon Chukwese and Osimen will play roles

00:24up front.

00:25But once the whistle sounds, none of that counts.

00:28There is the whistle.

00:29And away in Fez, Uganda in yellow and black against Nigeria in white with green trim today.

00:36Ball in towards Moses Simon, he's got plenty of pace down this nearside flank.

00:41Simon inside, outside goes past Semakula, past Omeri as well, the cutback is there but the

00:46finish is not.

00:47What a clear.

00:49And he was a major reason for defensive successes.

00:54So that kind of opened up the door for him.

00:59It did for his career.

01:01Osimen charging forward, backtracking is Onyango.

01:06Osimen cuts back into the area, looks for space and is there for Onwacho.

01:09Point-blank save by Denis Onyango, just reaffirming his legendary status.

01:14He stands up to be counted.

01:17Denis Onyango denies Onwacho at point-blank range.

01:23He's very commendable selflessness from Osimen because he could have struck a goal himself.

01:30Another chance, Delabachero, square ball and it's come.

01:38Second chance, firmly taken by Onwacho.

01:43His fourth international goal, but a first in a game that Nigeria so desperately want to

01:48win to maintain the victorious momentum going into the knockout stages.

01:56The intelligence and the positioning, always be in the box.

02:00As a point striker, you must always be in the box when the cross is coming.

02:05When you look at this movement here, he takes his time, he doesn't go in, and then he...

02:09Mujaba, counter-attack could be on, but Borsi's through, he doesn't have the pace of some of

02:15the players around him, but swept to safety by Bruno, who shows good cover defense.

02:19And with that, we reach halftime.

02:24It's been a hard-fought, intense affair between two sides who showed ambition in attack.

02:29Three replacements for Uganda, one for Nigeria.

02:32Second half is underway.

02:34Uganda with 45 minutes, knowing that their fate is still undecided.

02:40One point so far, but one opportunity remaining now.

02:44So, from the corner.

02:47Nigeria. Tall players in the area.

02:50Decent-looking delivery as well, towards the back post, and a chipped ball that is just wide from

02:55the halftime substitute.

02:58Announced his presence.

03:00Well played out, but the run he made was very good.

03:02He went behind, he went on the bland side of the opposition.

03:07Very good run. The finishing did not get it right, but you have to have contact with the ball to the end,

03:14it touches your foot.

03:14Another chance for Nigeria.

03:17OCMN runs into a good area.

03:20Just pulls it back. And with that, allows Vita and Sibic both to tidy up.

03:27Pulled forward by Sibic.

03:29With Nigeria with it back immediately.

03:31Nidika.

03:32Nidika.

03:32Yeah, forward from Degongu.

03:43Oh, lovely ball into space.

03:46Telebashiro with the assist for the opening goal.

03:49Nearly has the assist for a second goal.

03:51It struck firmly and into the side netting.

04:02It's very obvious.

04:04The victory against Tunisia has really, really lifted this team.

04:18Towards Iguogbu.

04:25Pulled under control by Ozu.

04:32Still playing at Omonia in Cyprus.

04:42Okelo wins it back. Baba now.

04:45Going forward by Mato looking for Iguogbu.

04:49Slow the game and speed the game up.

04:52Just shows how much control they've had in large parts of this game.

04:57Simon again bursting away.

04:59That's too strong.

05:01Might be recovered though.

05:03Chukwesi.

05:07Delivery in.

05:09Bruno is a long way forward.

05:10Chips it too close to reserve goalkeeper.

05:13And Salim brings it under control.

05:16Well, when you've got good players and then you've already qualified,

05:20it makes life easier psychologically to play this kind of games.

05:24For some more, you've got quality, but you had some doubt.

05:26And now the fact that the Nigerians have won two games in a row and scored some quality goals against Tunisia.

05:34That's made life easier.

05:36And that could help them go very, very far in this tournament.

05:39Chukwesi.

05:40Lovely ball in towards the path of Osemen.

05:41Oh, that's a handball and that's surely a red card.

05:42Oh, that's a red card.

05:43It's got to be.

05:44The reserve goalkeeper is off.

05:45We're going to see a third goalkeeper for Uganda in this game and they will complete this match with only ten players.

05:51Pressure telling.

05:52Great ball, great run by Osemen.

05:53And intelligent also because Osemen pull up.

05:58Oh, that's lovely from Chukwesi.

05:59The timing of the past, the position of the past by Chukwesi.

06:01Now, let's give credit to Chukwesi also.

06:02Yeah.

06:03Because the time of the past, the position of the past by Chukwesi.

06:06Yeah.

06:07Yeah.

06:08Because he put the ball in the running path of Osemen.

06:10Oh, there's no doubt about it.

06:11A clear red card.

06:12No hesitation.

06:13And to be fair to Jamal Saleem, he didn't protest.

06:15That normal hit the ball.

06:16Yeah.

06:17Yeah.

06:18Yeah.

06:19Yeah.

06:20Yeah.

06:21Yeah.

06:22Yeah.

06:23Yeah.

06:24Yeah.

06:25Yeah.

06:26Yeah.

06:27Yeah.

06:28Yeah.

06:29Yeah.

06:30Yeah.

06:31Yeah.

06:32Yeah.

06:33Yeah.

06:34Yeah.

06:35Yeah.

06:38That normal is difficult to get triangles with.

06:40Chukwesi.

06:41Decent looking ball and a chance to score, and slotted.

06:44That was a glorious finish from P critically.

06:47I told you at the beginning, this is a player to look out for.

06:54Yeah.

06:55Oh.

06:56Oh.

06:57Oh.

06:59Yeah.

07:00Look at him.

07:01Oh, My Josh E.

07:04years on from that, here he is scoring on the Afghan stage, runs on to it beautifully

07:08and then slots it through the goalkeeper's legs. Chukwesi with the assist. What a beautiful

07:14first touch. It was a day of hope and opportunity for Uganda, it's slowly turning into a nightmare.

07:30It's not often you see three goalkeepers used in a tournament. Three in a game is quite

07:35rare. Chukwesi looking for three here in Nigeria and they claim it brilliantly. Onyedika again.

07:43Well Onyedika and Onyedika have been superb in midfield but suddenly Onyedika has found

07:50his goal scoring boots and in the space of five minutes he scored twice as Nigeria's Super

07:55Eagles are soaring.

08:02But let's give also credit to the, you know, to the clairvoyance of, of, of, look at this.

08:12Onyedika's change of play. Perfect. The elimination of their position and the lucidity to go backwards.

08:20And, oh yeah, well, well played. That's quality. Quality finish.

08:27All right.

08:36Here we go.

08:38Chukwesi.

08:41His passing game has been absolutely on point today.

08:44His passing game has been absolutely on point today.

08:47Not at his best in the opening game,

08:49but he's been unbelievable today.

08:53Well, he's really come out well.

08:57And I think the seriousness, the organization,

09:00and the self-belief now that you see in this Nigerian team,

09:04he's also oozing that.

09:12Chukwezi toward the back post.

09:14Decent-looking run as well.

09:16Simon looking to meet it.

09:18Takes a tumble on the goal post.

09:21That was a very good ball put in there by Chukwezi.

09:35Kayondo.

09:37Decent-looking ball takes it over the halfway line.

09:40Okelo, Mukwala, Tikpeazu,

09:42they all look to put themselves in pockets to receive.

09:45Okelo will get it now from Mato.

09:47Lovely ball.

09:48Mato with a chance to pull something bad.

09:51And Rogers Mato has got a goal that gives Uganda at least a consolation

09:55and something to celebrate.

09:57Ten-man Uganda score against full-strength Nigeria.

10:03We're talking about positives, my friend.

10:04You have to take something positive with you.

10:09But that was a great pass and a great run.

10:11Look at this.

10:12He comes in.

10:14Well, well.

10:15Well played.

10:18And the finishing was great, too.

10:21Well, Okelo might have been criticized for missing the penalty

10:2390th minute against Tanzania,

10:25but that was the perfect assist for Rogers Mato.

10:30Perfect finish either.

10:31You can't force the goalkeeper for this.

10:32So who calls for it to be left,

10:43rolls out of play harmlessly,

10:45goal kick it'll be.

10:46Well, that's pretty much the match done.

10:49The Beninois referee signals the end of this tie

10:52and Nigeria romp confidently towards the knockout stages.
