South Sudan\u2019s U15 boys football team, the Bright Stars on Friday thrashed their group opponent Djibouti team with a basketful of 12 -0 goals in their last group stage match of the ongoing CECAFA Championship tournament in Uganda.<\/p>\n
Uganda\u2019s Rhino had already booked a second victory in the Tournament by walloping the South Sudan Bright Stars U15 team beating them 3 to nil on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The game-changer and matchmaker on South Sudan\u2019s side happened to be none other than the team\u2019s Captain Lazarus Peter.<\/p>\n
In the first minute of the game, Lazarus did not wait to net the first goal which opened up and boosted the morale of the young stars.<\/p>\n
He went ahead to humiliate their opponents with six more goal penetrations in the 21, 22, 30, 63, 70, and 89th<\/sup> minutes which won him a double hat trick.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, two more goals from the Bright Stars\u2019 side were scored by Anur Loburu while the rest came from Loius Domano, Ajo Lomoro and David Biel.<\/p>\n The youngsters took up their first win with passion following a 1-1 draw with Ethiopia\u2019s Walia in their first match opener of the tournament.<\/p>\n Djibouti\u2019s U-15 team first suffered a 15-0 defeat in their group opening game against Uganda.<\/p>\n South Sudan will now have to wait for Uganda\u2019s Match against Ethiopia to determine their chances of progressing to the next stage.<\/p>\n This will mean the Bright Stars will be knocked out if Ethiopia wins their match against the Rhinos of Uganda.<\/p>\n But for South Sudan to book a space in the next stage, Uganda must win with a minimum of 3-0 goals or above.<\/p>\n The Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) registered nine (9) teams\u2019 participation in this Championship.<\/p>\n The last CECAFA U-15 Boys Championship was held in Asmara, Eritrea in 2019 where Uganda defeated Kenya in the final to lift the trophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Charles K Mark South Sudan\u2019s U15 boys football team, the Bright Stars on Friday thrashed their group opponent Djibouti team with a basketful of 12 -0 goals in their last group stage match of the ongoing CECAFA Championship tournament in Uganda.
