Why McKinstry won’t criticise Uganda despite poor show vs South Sudan

Uganda head coach Johnathan McKinstry has explained why he would not point fingers at any player despite a wanting performance against South Sudan on Thursday.

The Bright Stars frustrated a strong Cranes side at St Mary’s Stadium in Kitende before the former picked up a late 1-0 win in the African Cup of Nations qualifier.

South Sudan were destined for what could have been their first point in Group B, but Vipers SC’s Halid Lwaliwa’s 86th-minute goal denied them the point despite a strong performance against the hosts.

“Let it be in the most difficult situation, in football you need to find a way to win the game,” McKinstry said after the game as per Football256.
