However, Uganda came back into the game close to the half-hour mark, as Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s forward, Stephen Mukwala scored from the spot.
Ghana, with a dominant display in the first half, restored their lead six minutes after with Jordan Ayew scoring from a penalty spot after defender Dennis Odoi was brought down in the 18-yard box, ending the first half with the advantage.
