Morocco rubbished all hopes of the She Cranes in Africa Cup of Nations finals, beating Uganda 3-1 in Rabat on Tuesday to advance from Group A to the quarterfinals.
Coach Lutalo had returned with 4 changes from his first match that saw him suffer a defeat from Senegal but still this was not enough to turn tables for the East African young ladies.
The opponent lead ealier with a controversial penalty taken by the Tottenham player before a little later Uganda’s Sumaya Komutale equaliser to bring a little life unto the team. By end of the game more two more goals were scored against Uganda with Komutale sent off and penalty awarded.

Both countries have a full haul of points from their opening two matches.
