Young Africans initiated the scoring just three minutes into the game, courtesy of Ivorian striker, Pacome Zouzoua. However, IHEFU FC responded with a goal by Lenny Kissu just five minutes before halftime.
The tide turned in the 66th minute when Charles Ilanyfa scored for IHEFU, giving them a lead they maintained until the final whistle. This marks the second consecutive season IHEFU defeated Young Africans at their home ground.
Uganda Cranes' assistant captain, Khalid Aucho, began the match on the bench and much as he was introduced in the final stages, he couldn't salvage a draw for his side.
This defeat leaves Miguel Angel Gamondi’s team in second place on the leaderboard, with nine points from four games – one point behind the leaders, Azam FC.
