World Cup 2026 (Q): Mozambique heavily beaten by Uganda (4-0)

Mozambique's dream of reaching the 2026 World Cup is slipping away. On the road this Friday, the Mambas suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Uganda.

Under the guidance of coach Chiquinho Conde, Mozambique held firm in the first half, heading into the break with a goalless draw. But after the restart, Uganda seized control of the match. Okello broke the deadlock with a stunning strike before Mato bagged a brace, ruthlessly exploiting the weaknesses in the Mozambican defense.

In the dying moments of the match, Capradossi added to the tally, sealing a resounding victory for the Cranes. With this defeat, Mozambique's path to the World Cup becomes even more uncertain. The upcoming fixtures will be decisive in keeping their slim hopes of qualification alive.
