He commended the Head Coach Milutin Micho Sredejovic for giving most of the Ugandan players a chance to test their various chances.

The Serbian tactician utilized all the three substitutions out of the 18 players that traveled with the team.

He (Micho) has given at least each player chance to establish. And I have a feeling this will yield more fruits.

The match ended 0-1 with Farouk Miya netting the solitary goal for Uganda in the forth minute.

Meanwhile, the team had slight recovery training at Vienna College Namugongo on Friday evening.
