This was the first competitive game for Uganda coach Laszlo Csaba
|
A superb display from Geoffrey Massa helped Uganda take Lesotho apart in Group Two of the Cup of Nations qualifiers in Kampala.
Massa scored two and won a penalty as the Cranes rode out comfortable winners.
The Egypt-based striker got his first in the 29th minute before doubling his tally in the 42nd.
He then helped complete a convincing win when he was fouled in the penalty area in the 57th minute.
Instead of opting to complete his hat-trick, he allowed Dennis Obua to convert the spot-kick.
Massa's display was a relief for Uganda, who have struggled to get goals in recent games.
Despite trying out a host of home-grown forwards, they managed only one goal in two friendlies against Rwanda and Botswana - two of Africa's weakest sides.
