Namboole, Uganda | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Travis Mutyaba executed a 45-minute playmaking spectacle, granting Uganda a 1-0 halftime lead over Algeria. However, he faded post-intermission as the Cranes fell to a 1-2 defeat in the 2026 World Cup qualifier at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole.

Mutyaba

Paul Put’s Cranes excelled in the first half, captivating the 41,000-strong crowd, including First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports Janet Kataaha Museveni, with the midfielder’s skillful passing, dribbling, and spatial control.

With proper guidance, the 19-year-old Zamalek playmaker Mutyaba, who scored within ten minutes, could rival Cranes legends like Stephen Bogere, Jamil Kyambadde, and Jackson Mayanja.

Yet, the night favored Vladimir Petkovic’s Desert Foxes. Roma midfielder Hossem Auoar equalized within two minutes of the second half, and West Ham United’s Said Benrahma secured victory with a close-range finish after a swift counterattack, overwhelming the Cranes’ defense.
