Cecafa Cup: McKinstry impressed with clinical Uganda amid heavy schedule

Ugandan coach Johnny McKinstry insists his side deserved to make it to the semi-finals of the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in Kampala.

The Cranes roared into the last four of competitions after goals from Nicholas Kasozi and Mustafa Kizza were enough to hand them a win against Eritrea after their earlier positive results against Burundi and Somalia.

Kasozi put the Cranes ahead in the 58th minute to break an Eritrean backline which had proved firm for the better part of the game. Kizza added the second from the spot in the 80th minute as Uganda consolidated their spot at the top of Group A.
