Uganda scored the opening goal in the first half against South Africa after 31 minutes of play to gain the upper hand.

Uganda conceded seven minutes into the second half, and again six minutes later, before South Africa added a third goal in the 93rd minute of the match.

However, Uganda pulled a goal back from a penalty kick at the 88-minute mark and equalised from another penalty kick six minutes into stoppage time.

The Cranes had 44% possession and 12 shots during the match, with four on target.

Earlier in the tournament, Uganda lost 3-0 to Algeria before beating Guinea 3-0 and Niger 2-0 in their CAF African Nations Championship Group C games.

Senegal edged Nigeria and drew 1-1 against Congo in their other CHAN group games.

The Lions of Teranga have secured one victory in their last five fixtures, including two defeats and two draws. They scored four goals and let in five at the back.

Senegal have struggled to win their matches in recent outings and are lacking goals, which could be their undoing when they tackle co-hosts Uganda for a place in the semi-finals.
