On return, the Kawempe Muslim striker completed her first hat trick with the 6th on the day for Uganda in the 49th minute before the Airtel Rising Stars (ARS) product made it 7-0 in the 51st minute.

Nalukenge scored her fifth in the 66th minute before Najemba completed her brace in a space of two minutes.
Nalukenge, who was named player of the match, scored her sixth to take her goal tally to seven in the tournament in two games –having scored from the spot in the 1-1 draw against Zambia in the opener on Friday.
Mauritius, who had only two shots against Uganda in the 14th minute (off target) and 74th minute (on target), thumped Comoros 5-1 in their opener on Friday. Uganda will play Comoros on Tuesday as Zambia takes on Mauritius in the last group A fixtures.
