Tunisia embodied with continental reputation and experience, possessed more of the ball in the early stages, overloading Uganda’s final third at Annex Olympic Stadium of the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat.
The breakthrough for the North Africans, arrived in the 10th minute, with Ellyes Skhiri heading home from a perfect corner kick delivery by Hannibal Mejbri.
Tunisia further extended the score before the break, Elia Achouri produced a stunning volley to double the advantage and leaving a mountain to climb for the returning East Africans.
Uganda Cranes tactician Paul Put in search for a response, rung changes after restart, withdrawing Jude Semugabi and Lorenzen for Denis Omedi and Travis Mutyaba respectively.
Achouri was back to haunt the Cranes in the 64th minute before substitute Omedi reducing the deficit in stoppage time in an encounter that proved too complex and devastating for Uganda.
The result saw Tunisia move level on points (3) with 2023 runners-up, the Super Eagles of Nigeria who had earlier edged regional neighbours, Tanzania 2-1 at Complex Sportiff de Fes.
