McKinstry reveals why Uganda did not celebrate slim South Sudan win

Uganda head coach Johnathan McKinstry has explained why the players did not jump in celebration after beating South Sudan 1-0 on Thursday.

The win took their tally to seven points as they draw closer to sealing a place in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations but the coach said how they struggled against the Bright Stars did not offer an environment to celebrate the slim win.

“The boys were not jumping in joy after the game. We won the game but we have high standards in terms of performance and it was lower than we wanted,” McKinstry said as was quoted by Football256.
