East African rivals Tanzania and Uganda played out a frenetic 1-1 draw at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), with Uganda missing a late penalty in torrential rain in Rabat.
While the first half contained a lot of endeavour but little quality, the second burst into life just before the hour mark when the Taifa Stars were awarded a spot kick of their own for handball and Simon Msuva sent an unstoppable finish into the roof of the net.
Tanzania, who have now failed to win any of their 11 matches at Afcon final tournaments, held on to their lead until the 80th minute, when substitute striker Uche Ikpeazu, who was born in London and plays in Scotland's second tier for St Johnstone, executed a classic diving header to level proceedings.
