Tanzania striker and captain Mbwana Samatta has heaped praises on Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly following his impressive performance against his side.
The defender put in a solid display in the encounter to help the Terenga Lions claim a 2-0 victory over the Taifa Stars in their opening 2019 Africa Cup of Nations game on Sunday.
Samatta failed to trouble the Senegal defence with the Napoli player leading the line and Koulibaly thwarted the few chances which came across Emmanuel Amuneke’s men.
The Genk forward believed Koulibaly, regarded as one of the best defenders the world, gave his side a tough fight in the game.
