Egypt 1 - 0 Uganda: Egypt strike late to dump out Uganda

Uganda Cranes becomes the first team to exit the #AFCON2017 following the lose against Egypt.

Abdallah El Said scored with a minute left as Egypt snatched a 1-0 win over Uganda on Saturday that leaves them on the verge of the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals and eliminated their opponents.

The substitute lashed in after collecting a Mohamed Salah pass to leave the seven-time champions needing only a point from their last Group D game against Ghana -- who beat Mali 1-0 earlier in the day -- to go through.

Uganda, who had a Joseph Ochaya effort disallowed early in the second half, are the first team to be knocked out of this Cup of Nations after a second consecutive 1-0 defeat.
