Uganda 3-0 Ethiopia

The Cranes saw off Ethiopia’s Walya Antelopes 3-0 in an international friendly match played Namboole on Sunday.

Goals from Geoffrey Massa, Yunus Sentamu and Farouk Miya ensured the victory which saw the Cranes dominate almost in all aspects.

Kawowo Sports’ Ismael Kiyonga caught the game and rates each Ugandan player that featured in the game. The rating is based on statistics and player’s contribution to the victory.

Robert Odongkara 6.0: Had less to contend with as Ethiopia didn’t threaten his goal but made a brilliant save with his feet when the game was still level.

Isaac Isinde 6.0: Started at right back and offered less going forward plus he looked un assured defensively. Later changed to centre back with a few changes midway the second half.

Brian Majwega 6.0: Deployed at left back and gave his best and struggled against Yusuf Saleh whenever the Ethiopian had possession. Offensively, he let in two dangerous crosses which resulted into corners.

Richard Kasagga 5.0: Read the game well but a lapse in concentration on two occasions almost gave the visitors’ a goal as he was beaten by the skilled Saleh.

Savio Kabugo 7.0: He organised his backline well and made a few necessary clearances. He initiated a few moves from the backline.

Tonny Mawejje 5.0: He started the game in a brilliant fashion dictating the tempo with his long and short range passes but faded as the game went on.

Miya Farouk 8.0: A spirited performance from the Vipers’ midfielder. His first touch appeared to have improved and his passing was nice. Beat his men easily and his industry saw him grab a goal.

Mike Sserumaga 7.0: He made a brilliant return to the national team hitting three shots on target and creating two chances for the strikers.

Moses Oloya 6.5: Beat opponents with easy as usual with his trade mark trickery but his final pass is still wanting. Involved in both the first and third goal though.

Yunus Sentamu 8.0: Scored a striker’s goal with a good tap in from close range and gave the Ethiopian defence a torrid time on and off the ball. His movement was also fantastic.

Geoffrey Massa 8.0: Missed a penalty at the death of half time but made amends seconds later with the opener. Assisted Sentamu’s goal and was also involved in Miya’s goal. Captain fantastic he was on the day.

Substitutes:

Jamal Salim 6.0: Made his debut replacing Odongkara after recess and easily collected what the Ethiopians threw at him. His ball distribution and command of the backline was also okay.

Julius Ntambi 5.0: Returned to the team for the first time since CHAN and looked decent though he carelessly gave away possession twice.

Keziron Kizito 5.0: A brilliant prospect of a midfield gem but his decision making is ought to improve. Otherwise, he is a technically gifted player if well nurtured.

Habib Kavuma 5.0: Another returnee to the national team fold after some time out and his 15 minutes on the pitch saw the team maintain its clean sheet. Threatened the other end with a good shot which went inches wide.

Hassan Wasswa 5.0: Still looks overweight but his big frame bullied the Ethiopians.

Robert Ssentongo 5.0: The UPL leading scorer came on with over an hour gone and did well despite not getting on the score sheet.

WYLIE, Texas -

The body of a Wylie mother who has been missing for over a month has been found.

On Sunday afternoon Wylie police got a call from a private search and rescue crew about a van in Muddy Creek Farms pond in the 2500 block of McMillen Road.

A dive team went into the water and found Almaz Gebremedhin's body inside her silver Chevrolet Venture.

Gebremedhin disappeared on her way to work on Oct. 2.

Her family reportedly hired a private detective to find her and that private detective hired a search and recovery team from Illinois. The team arrived in the area and began searching Sunday morning.

They were instructed to search both sides of the roadway from Gebremedhin's home to where she worked. They noticed some damage to the fence near the pond so they used sonar equipment to search it.

Gebremedhin would have taken McMillen Road to work.

Police are still working to determine exactly how the vehicle ended up in the water.

Ethiopia's Girma and Tsega victorious at 2014 Beirut Marathon

Ethiopia’s Fikadu Girma and Mulahabt Tsega triumphed at the 2014 Banque du Liban Beirut Marathon, winning at the IAAF Bronze Label Road Race in 2:12:26 and 2:29:15 respectively on Sunday (9).
Girma, in just his second marathon after finishing third in 2:09:34 at the Dusseldorf Marathon earlier this year, clocked the second fastest winning time in the Beirut Marathon’s 12-year history, while Tsega took more than two minutes off the former course record of 2:31:38, set by her compatriot Seada Kedir in 2011, in what will have been a highly satisfying debut over the classic distance, especially in the warm conditions.
In the men’s race, a three-man all-Ethiopian trio of Girma, Abdela Godana and Legese Adungna went through 20km in 1:01:53 with Morocco’s Mohammed Blal and another Ethiopian Damte Taye just 20 metres in arrears, giving rise to hopes that the course record of 2:11:14, that had belonged to Ethiopia’s Tariku Jufar since 2011, might fall.
By 30km, passed in 1:33:17, with Girma and Godana running together at the front and Blal 24 seconds adrift of the leading pair, Jufar’s mark was still in their sights.
However, gradually the pace started to slacken although Godana did manage to pull away from his compatriot Girma, who was unwell between kilometres 32 and 33, and went through 35km in 1:49:09 with a 15-second lead over Girma.
It soon became apparent that possibility of the course record was starting to seriously ebb away and that both men were concentrating their own race rather than having a duel with the clock, as Girma gradually recovered from his stomach problem and reeled his countryman at 38km, before decisively pulling away from him.
Godana hung on to finish second in 2:13:28 while Adungna, who went through a bad patch between 28 and 30  kilometres, came through strongly in the final 10km to finish third in 2:17:31.
Tsega makes impressive marathon debut 
In the women’s race, Ethopia's pre-race favourite Zemzem Ahmed dropped out at about 10km but four women - Tsega, Kenya’s Monica Jepkoech, two-time former winner Kedir and a third Ethiopian Makida Abdela - went through 20km together in 1:11:11 but from 25km onwards Tsega and Koech started to put daylight between themselves and the other two.
Tsega and Jepkoech were still together at 30km, reached in 1:46:30, but from 34km onwards Tsega started to drop her Kenyan rival.
The Ethiopian passed 35km in 2:04:00, 18 seconds ahead of Jepkoech and just continued to increase her lead over the final kilometres.
Jepkoech eventually finished second in 2:30:53. Although more than a minute behind the winner, she was also inside the old course record and took more than two minutes off her personal best.
Kedir, after winning in 2011 And 2012, had to settle for third on this occasion in 2:34:24.
As a guest of honour, Ethiopian distance running legend and former marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie was the official race starter.
Organisers estimated there were approximately 37,500 participants in the marathon and a variety other races staged on Sunday, with runners from 94 different countries having registered.
