Afcon 2019: Strikers let Zimbabwe down against Uganda - Khama Billiat

Zimbabwe striker Khama Billiat says the strikers let the team down in the 1-1 draw against Uganda in a Africa Cup of Nations Group A fixture on Wednesday.

Emmanuel Okwi gave the East African side a deserved early lead but Billiat brought the Warriors level just before the half-time break.

Zimbabwe had several chances to win the game in the second-half, but had to settle for a share of the spoils after wasting numerous opportunities.

“We as strikers let the nation down, we need to take more responsibility to help the nation by taking our chances, football is about scoring, if you score you stand a chance," Billiant told Goal in an interview after the match.
