Uganda U20 head coach Morley Byekwaso has explained why they need to treat their match against Mauritania in the African Cup of Nations like a final.
After opening the tournament with a 2-0 win against the Group A opponents Mozambique, the Hippos went down 1-0 to Cameroon in the subsequent game and will now need a win against the hosts to stand a chance of advancing.
“We go into Saturday’s game like we are playing the final," Byekwaso, who is leading the Hippos in their first-ever appearance, said as was quoted by Football256.
