U20 Afcon: 'It is hard to find words' to praise Uganda - McKinstry reacts after Hippos progress to the final

Uganda head coach Johnathan McKinstry is short of words to use on the Hippos after their qualification to the Africa U20 Cup of Nations final.

A hat-trick from Derrick Kakooza and a strike from Richard Basangwa gave the East Africans a massive win over Tunisia, in the semi-finals, who scored through Ben Lamin Olympic Stadium in Nouakchott on Monday night. The youthful tactician believes the display was top class.

"It is hard to find words exultant enough to praise these young men and all of the support staff," McKinstry tweeted.
