In front of a fully packed StarTimes stadium, Uganda scored five times in the Tanzanian goal as Fauzia Najjemba, Margaret Kunihira, Hadijja Nandago, Grace Aluka, and skipper Juliet Nalukenge were on a scoring spree to inflict pain on the Tanzanians whose goalkeeper was only relegated to picking balls from her net.
The result ensured Uganda registered their first-ever win against Tanzania in a 6-2 aggregate but also saw them advance to the playoffs where they will face Cameroon that outwitted Sao Tome and Principe.
