Uganda Cranes lost 3-2 to South Africa during an international build up match played at the Orlando stadium on Thursday, 10th June 2021.
Ibrahim Orit and second half substitute Abdul Lumala found the goals for Uganda Cranes in a match played under closed doors because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Orit gave Uganda Cranes with a diving header off a telling cross from the right by team captain Emmanuel Arnold Okwi in the 18th minute.
Hlongwane found the equalizer for Bafana Bafana, a few minutes into the second half.
Makgopa then gave the hosts the lead and moments later doubled the advantage to build a two goal lead.
Lumala reduced the deficit to make it 3-2 for the visitors and grant the closing minutes of the game a tense ending.
