James Bogere scored the all important goal for the history makers who finished with four points same as France who topped the group and second placed Canada.
Chile also had the same points but bowed out on goal difference.
Uganda will now take on West Africans Senegal on Saturday, 15th November at the round of 32 tie (3:30Pm).
Senegal were the only African side that finished top among all the ten Group winners. They finished top in Group C with seven points.
In case Uganda overcomes Senegal they will lock horns with the winners between Germany or Burkina Faso in the round of 16.
For the very first time in the history of Ugandan football, the nation has celebrated a win at a FIFA World Cup tournament.
When the Uganda Cubs faced Canada last week, it marked the first appearance by any Ugandan football team at a World Cup.
That game produced a piece of history when James Bogere scored Uganda’s first-ever World Cup goal, although the Cubs eventually fell 2–1.
In their second match, the Cubs continued to make strides, earning Uganda’s first World Cup point with a hard-fought 1–1 draw against Chile.
Now, the Cubs have reached yet another milestone.
