Niger proved too hot to handle when they upset visiting Uganda Cranes 2-0 in an International friendly played in Niamey on Tuesday evening.
Daudi Kamilou broke the deadlock in the 10th minute with his long range shot beating Robert Odonkora in goal before Issiakou Koudize scored the second goal minutes later to make it 2-0 a score Uganda Cranes were unable to recover from .
Cranes suffered a setback in the 89th minute as skipper Andrew Mwesigwa saw red for protesting a decision.
The game was used by both team to the fine tune their squads ahead of the 2015 Africa Nations Cup qualifying match over the weekend with Cranes taking on Ghana in Kumasi in a group E encounter while Niger face Cape Verde.
