In a dramatic Group C clash at the Africa Cup of Nations, Uganda's Uche Ikpeazu delivered a late equalizer against East African rivals Tanzania, resulting in a 1-1 draw on Saturday in Rabat.

The match took a decisive turn in the 59th minute when Simon Msuva converted a penalty for Tanzania, following a handball incident in the box. Uganda, however, equalized through Ikpeazu's impressive diving header, narrowly avoiding another defeat in their group campaign.

With the opportunity to clinch a late victory, Uganda was awarded a penalty, but Allan Okello's shot sailed over the bar, leaving both teams with just one point each as they recover from their opening losses to Tunisia and Nigeria.
