Chan 2021: Uganda let themselves down against Rwanda – Mckinstry

The Northern Irish tactician believes his players did not push themselves to the limit against their East African neighbours

Uganda coach Johnathan Mckinstry has blamed the team’s stalemate against Rwanda in their African Nations Championships opener on the nerves among his players.

The Cranes opened their campaign in the 2021 competition with a 0-0 draw against their East African neighbours in a Group C match played at Stade de la Réunification in Douala on Monday night.

The Northern Irish tactician has now revealed to Goal his players developed a fear factor during the match and said their passing of the ball refused to work hence they were not creating enough chances for the strikers to score goals.
