Uganda Cranes striker, Derrick Nsibambi, is among the seven players whose goals in 2018 caught the eyes of the selection panel of the 2018 CAF Awards.
Nsibambi’s volley against Zambia in the 2018 Africa Nations Championships (CHAN) has been nominated despite Uganda losing the match 3-1.
Lazarus Kambole had put the Zambians ahead in the 38th minute but it took only two minutes for the then 23-year old to twist his body in mid-air before striking in the equaliser.
The Chipolopolo had failed to deal away with a Cranes attack before Militon Karisa picked the pieces, headed for the right side of the box, dribbled one and clipped in a cross just at the by-line for the waiting Nsibambi to connect in with a sumptuous volley.
Other top contenders for the award include 2018 CAF Champions League golden boot winner, Anice Badri, for his solo effort for Esperance’s third against Al Ahly in the second leg final.
