Ugandan striker Allan Okello has heaped praise on Somalia for putting up a brave fight in their Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup match played on Monday.
Many analysts had tipped the 14-time champions to hammer Somalia in a Group A contest but it was not the case as they battled to register a 2-0 win with Okello notching the two goals.
The KCCA FC forward has now admitted Somalia gave them a good game and they never expected they will fight to get a win.

“We played against a very good team, we never thought they would play like this against us, we also faced them once in the qualifiers of Chan and they have proved a difficult side,” Okello told Goal after the match.
