The Cranes, who lost their tournament opener by the same margin to Algeria, were in danger of early elimination.

But Reagan Mpande put them into the lead on the half hour by heading home a right cross from Joel Sserunjogi to ease the pressure.

Ugandan skipper Allan Okello, who played the leading role in the match, doubled the lead in the 62nd minute when he converted a penalty given after he was fouled.

Substitute Ivan Ahimbisibwe fired a last-gasp third goal to give the hosts all three points.
