- South Sudan 0-3 Uganda
- (13-25, 24-26, 27-29)
Uganda Volleyball Cranes secured a 3-0 victory against South Sudan in the CAVB Zone V Nations Championship Qualifiers at Lugogo Indoor Arena on Tuesday.
Uganda started the tournament with a dominant victory against Burundi, before going on to see off a highly motivated South Sudan.
Despite putting up a big fight, South Sudan struggled to overcome an experienced Uganda side that had several players used to the big stage.
Uganda capitalised on South Sudan’s poor reception as Daudi Okello led Uganda’s electric attack backed up with a loud crowd.
South Sudan missed the presence of prolific opposite Thon Maker Madol who is injured and called the shots from the bench as part of the technical team.
Uganda struggled to conclude the second and third set making unforced errors and pressing the panic button which should be a concern to the technical team.
In the third game of the campaign, Uganda will take on Kenya on Wednesday in the highly anticipated encounter since it’s dubbed the Migingo derby.
