U20 Afcon: 'Nobody expected Uganda to perform' - Byekwaso

The Hippos have sealed their place in the last four of the competition alongside Ghana, and the coach was pleased with his side's performances

Uganda U20 coach Morley Byekwaso is delighted with his charges for surprising many in the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Mauritania.

Uganda sealed their place in the semi-finals of the annual competition after a 5-3 win over Burkina Faso in a penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw in regulation time at Sheikha Bedia Stadium in Nouakchott on Thursday night.

The tactician has further insisted his charges had a dream of playing against bigger teams in the competition.
