Cecafa Cup: Tanzania proved a hard nut to crack for Uganda – McKinstry

Ugandan coach Johnathan McKinstry believes they were lucky to beat Tanzania in the semi-finals of the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in Kampala.

The Cranes needed a late goal in courtesy of Fahad Bayo to down the Kilimanjaro Stars and book their place in the final of the competition.

Speaking to Goal after the match, McKinstry has admitted Tanzania were very organised and did not give his players space to play their usual game.

“By the nature of teams qualifying, Tanzania were a very disciplined side, very well organized, with a quality coach and today we found it very difficult to find space, they restricted our space and kept their shape and were very disciplined,” McKinstry told Goal.
