Nicholas Mwere orchestrated the damage, bagging a hat trick while Brian Nkuubi got the other.
Uganda started like a house on fire getting the first goal as early as the first minute through Nkuubi.
Mwere came off the bench to score twice and thus fire Uganda into a 3-0 leas in the first period.
The visitors showed a lot of improvement in the second period with Moeva Chakira scoring twice before Ismael Ahmed got the equalizer.
However, in the final stanza, Mwere once again came off the bench to restore parity and thus send Uganda to the final tournament.
