Tanzania U20 women's coach Bakari Shime has hailed the character of his players which allowed them to stage a 2-1 comeback against Uganda in a Fifa U20 World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
The two teams met in the first round ahead of the second leg tie to be played on February 1 in Kampala and the winner of the two-legged tie will make it to the next round to face the winner of the match between Sierra Leone and Senegal.
It was the home team that had to come from one goal down to emerge winners courtesy of two second-half goals, from Diana Msewe in the 65th minute and Opa Clement in the 70th minute, to launch their qualifying campaign in style.
