A stunning long range 39th minute effort from the new kid on the block, Farouk Miya caught the attention of everyone who watched the Cranes win 2 - 0 over a North East Select side at Soroti grounds on Saturday. The goal was the third for the youngster featuring in national colors in a space of a week. He netted last week in Mbarara against West Select team and also in the mid week against the Uganda University select team. This was the second game played by the senior national team in the regional tours dubbed Uganda Cranes Na - Mutima, a campaign aimed at taking the national team closer to the people. Second half substitute, Joseph Ochaya made it 2 - 0 from the spot after Emma Okwi was fouled in the box. The national team is currently preparing for the AFCON qualifier at Namboole against Mauritania on the 19th July 2014.
