Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has admitted his side played a strong team following their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Uganda in the Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 game on Friday.
Sadio Mane scored the solitary goal in the 15th minute and the Teranga Lions kept a clean sheet to secure passage to the last eight of the competition.
The 43-year-old manager believes his side’s solid defensive performance helped them to see off Sebastien Desabre’s men.
“We won against a strong team. We scored a goal and defended many times in front of a difficult opponent,” Cisse told Caf's Twitter channel.
