Afcon 2019: Missed chances helped Senegal to beat Uganda – Michael Azira

Uganda midfielder Michael Azira believes his team fell to Senegal in their Round of 16 battle at the Africa Cup of Nations finals because they failed to take their chances.

The Cranes made it to the knockout stages for the first time since 1978 but lost by a solitary goal on Friday night.

The Montreal Impact player says the difference was up front for his team where they 'couldn't finish' their chances.

“It was not that tough, the thing is we just couldn't finish, and they got two good chances and they put away one and it makes the difference.
