Both sides played a more evenly matched game in the second half, with little chances for either team to score. Uganda consistently threatened to counterattack, taking advantage of defensive lapses to put Wollacott's goalkeeping skills to the test. Ghana attempted to extend their lead, but Uganda's perseverance paid off as they took advantage of a defensive blunder to tie the game at 2-2.

Even though Ghana showed moments of offensive genius and perseverance in the face of difficulty, lost opportunities and poor defense proved costly.
