WCQ 2018: Uganda lose to Togo in pre-Ghana friendly

Ghana’s opponents for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Uganda suffered a 1-0 defeat in their preparatory game ahead of the clash against the Black Stars on Sunday.

The match was played at the Kegue Stadium in Lome to sharpen the rough edges of the Cranes ahead of their first round game against Ghana.

The Togolese scored the winner through Atakora Lalawele’s first half strike in the 37th minute.

Uganda arrive in Ghana later today ahead of Friday’s game.
