Afcon 2019: Uganda showed how good they are against Egypt – Desabre

Uganda head coach Sebastien Desabre believes his charges showed what the country can offer as far as football is concerned against Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Despite falling 2-0 to the hosts, the East African nation still managed to finish second in the group and advance to knockouts stages. The Frenchman is happy with the kind of game his charges played and says their objective has already been realised.

“We are very disappointed [with the defeat] but I’m proud of my players because we have shown a good side of Ugandan football.
