Kenya striker Ogola ready to finish the job against Uganda

Uganda qualified for the second round with a commanding 18-0 aggregate win over Namibia last month while Kenya received a bye into the round.
The aggregate winner will likely meet powerhouses Cameroon in the final round of qualifiers. The Central Africans crushed Ethiopia 5-0 in their first leg encounter last Saturday.
After providing an assist during Kenya’s Under-17 Women's World Cup 2-1 victory over Mexico last October in the Dominican Republic, striker Joan Ogola longed to score a goal of her own.
It duly came when Kenya crushed Uganda 2-0 in their 2025 World Cup qualifier second round first leg match in Kampala on Saturday.
